Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the evolutionary pathways of tigecycline (TGC) resistance and alterations in the biological characteristics of hospital-derived Staphylococcus aureus isolates under selective pressure. METHODS: Three clinical S. aureus strains and one standard S. aureus strain, ATCC 29213, were used for the in vitro selection of TGC-resistant S. aureus variants with gradient concentrations of TGC....
