Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is an important clinical concern in patients, and is often associated with significant disease burden and metastatic infections. There is an increasing evidence of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) associated treatment failure. In this study, we aim to understand the molecular mechanism of teicoplanin resistant MRSA (TR-MRSA) and...
