Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Limited data exist regarding the role of agr dysfunction in reducing susceptibility to vancomycin in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). This study investigated the clinical and molecular epidemiology of MSSA causing bacteraemia, with emphasis on the reduced susceptibility to vancomycin (RSV) phenotype (MIC ≥ 1.5 mg/L) and its relationship with agr dysfunction. METHODS: All MSSA...
