Development of an amplicon nanopore sequencing strategy for detection of mutations conferring intermediate resistance to vancomycin in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> strains
2022-07-31
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bacteremia and other hospital-acquired infections. The cell-wall active antibiotic vancomycin is commonly used to treat both methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and sensitive (MSSA) infections, but vancomycin intermediate S. aureus (VISA) variants can arise through de novo mutations. Here we performed pilot experiments to develop a combined PCR/long-read sequencing-based method...
