Optimizing the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with elevated vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations within the susceptible range
BACKGROUND Determination of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) can influence the agent used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. We studied diagnostic accuracy using E-test and VITEK(®) 2 against a gold standard broth microdilution (BMD) methodology, the correlation between methods, and associations between vancomycin MIC and MRSA phenotype from ...
متن کاملMethicillin-Susceptible, Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Brazil.
We report characterization of a methicillin-susceptible, vancomycin-resistant bloodstream isolate of Staphylococcus aureus recovered from a patient in Brazil. Emergence of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus would indicate that this resistance trait might be poised to disseminate more rapidly among S. aureus and represents a major public health threat.
متن کاملDaptomycin for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection and elevated vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations: has the time come?
In this issue, Moore et al [1] provide the first data investigating the results of using an alternative agent in patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI) with elevated vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). In this retrospective analysis, funded by an InvestigatorInitiated Research Grant from Cubist Pharmaceuticals, investigators...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus: methicillin-susceptible S. aureus to methicillin-resistant S. aureus and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus.
The evolution of methicillin-resistant and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has demanded serious review of antimicrobial use and development of new agents and revised approaches to prevent and overcome drug resistance. Depending on local conditions and patient risk factors, empirical therapy of suspected S. aureus infection may require coverage of drug-resistant organisms with newer a...
متن کاملRole of high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration in the outcome of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
Correspondence Role of High Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration in the Outcome of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia To the Editor—We read with great interest the article by Holmes et al [1] and the editorial commentary published in the same issue [2] regarding the novel topic of the potential role of high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels of vancomycin...
