Decreased Vancomycin Susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus Caused by IS <i>256</i> Tempering of WalKR Expression
30 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains often arise by mutations in the essential two-component regulator walKR; however their impact on walKR function has not been definitively established. Here, we investigated 10 MRSA strains recovered serially after exposure of vancomycin-susceptible S. aureus (VSSA) JKD6009 to simulated human vancomycin dosing regimens (500 mg to 4,000 mg every 12 h)...
