Different Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus Phenotypes Selected from the Same ST100-hVISA Parental Strain
The aim of this study is to characterize the factors related to peptidoglycan metabolism in isogenic hVISA/VISA ST100 strains. Recently, we reported the increase in IS256 transposition in invasive hVISA ST100 clinical strains isolated from the same patient (D1 and D2) before and after vancomycin treatment and two laboratory VISA mutants (D23C9 and D2P11) selected from D2 in independent experime...
متن کاملTwo infants, same prognosis, different parental preferences.
A central principle of justice is that similar cases should be decided in similar ways. In pediatrics, however, there are cases in which 2 infants have similar diagnoses and prognoses, but their parents request different treatments. In this Ethics Rounds, we present such a situation that occurred in a single NICU. Three physician-ethicists analyze the issues.
متن کاملDetection of heterogeneous, intermediate-vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) using low-concentration vancomycin disks.
Heterogeneous, intermediate-vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) represents a threat of an incurable infection since the first report in 1997. The method used to detect hVISA isolates is a population analysis profile (PAP); however, it is impractical for routine laboratory analysis. We therefore tested a simple, reliable and inexpensive method for the detection of hVISA. Eighteen ...
متن کاملIdentification of Low-Level Vancomycin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus in the Era of Informatics.
Vancomycin-intermediateStaphylococcus aureus(VISA) and heteroresistant VISA (hVISA) are pathogens for which accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) would rule out standard treatment with vancomycin. Unfortunately, AST for vancomycin is relatively slow and standard methods are unable to reliably detect VISA and hVISA. An article in this issue (C. A. Mather, B. J. Werth, S. Sivagnanam...
متن کاملCharacterization of passage-selected vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains of diverse parental backgrounds.
A series of 12 Staphylococcus aureus strains of various genetic backgrounds, methicillin resistance levels, and autolytic activities were subjected to selection for the glycopeptide-intermediate S. aureus (GISA) susceptibility phenotype on increasing concentrations of vancomycin. Six strains acquired the phenotype rapidly, two did so slowly, and four failed to do so. The vancomycin MICs for the...
