Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are many reports on gene mutations observed in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) showing reduced susceptibility to vancomycin. However, there are limited studies on the genetic alterations that contribute to high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). This study aimed to compare MSSA strains with high vancomycin MICs with...
