Prevalence of Vancomycin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in nosocomial infections. Vancomycin is the most important therapeutic drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Therefore, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) or vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains are warning...
متن کاملMethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) contamination of food samples in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis
During the last years, antimicrobial resistance has become one of the greatest challenges in clinical settings. Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus are important nosocomial pathogens worldwide. In different corners of the world, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have been isolated from various sources including different foods of an...
متن کاملEmergence of Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (VRSA)
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the bacteria under the genus Staphylococcus which is a gram-positive coccus. It is microscopically observed as individual organisms, in pairs and in irregular, grapelike clusters. S. aureus is non-motile and non-spore forming bacteria. It is one of the most common community and nosocomial pathogen. It mainly causes skin and soft tissue infections as i...
متن کاملVancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Michigan, USA, 2007
Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) infections, which are always methicillin-resistant, are a rare but serious public health concern. We examined 2 cases in Michigan in 2007. Both patients had underlying illnesses. Isolates were vanA-positive. VRSA was neither transmitted to or from another known VRSA patient nor transmitted from patients to identified contacts.
متن کاملVanA-type vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Since 2002, nine methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains that are also resistant to vancomycin (VRSA) have been reported in the United States, including seven clinical isolates from Michigan. The strains harbor a plasmid-borne Tn1546 element following conjugation from a glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus strain. In the second step, Tn1546 transposed to a residen...
