Borderline oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BORSA) – a more common problem than expected?

12 Sept 2017

Abstract excerpt

Borderline oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BORSA) represents a quite poorly understood and inadequately defined phenotype of methicillin resistance. BORSA strains show low, borderline resistance to penicillinase-resistant penicillins (PRPs), with oxacillin MICs typically equal to 1–8 µg ml−1, and in contrast to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), do not have an altered penicillin-binding protein,...
