Production of capsular polysaccharide does not influence Staphylococcus aureusvancomycin susceptibility
22 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diverse mechanisms (increased cell wall thickness, low cross linking, decreased autolysis, etc.) have been reported for Staphylococcus aureus strains with intermediate vancomycin susceptibility (VISA). This study was conducted to identify common mechanisms responsible for decreased vancomycin susceptibility in a VISA strain pair. RESULTS: Transcriptional profiling of the clinical heterogeneous VISA...
