Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Exposure to subinhibitory concentrations (SICs) of antimicrobials may alter the bacterial transcriptome. METHODS: Here, we evaluated the expression of nine virulence-related genes in vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) urinary tract infection isolates grown at SICs of vancomycin. RESULTS: A Subinhibitory concentrations of vancomycin interferes with gene modulation, but does not affect the...
