Vancomycin susceptibility of oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing nosocomial bloodstream infections.
Nosocomial oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) bloodstream isolates were tested to determine the prevalence of vancomycin heteroresistance. We screened 619 ORSA nosocomial bloodstream isolates from 36 hospitals between 1997 and 2000. Only one isolate exhibiting heterotypic resistance was detected. Thus, vancomycin heteroresistance in clinical bloodstream isolates remains rare in th...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing and Further Genetic Characterization of the Enigmatic Pathogen, Staphylococcus hominis
Staphylococcus hominis is a commensal resident of human skin and an opportunistic pathogen. The species is subdivided into two subspecies, S. hominis subsp. hominis and S. hominis subsp. novobiosepticus, which are difficult to distinguish. To investigate the evolution and epidemiology of S. hominis, a total of 108 isolates collected from 10 countries over 40 years were characterized by classica...
متن کاملNosocomial Bloodstream Infection and Clinical Sepsis
Primary bloodstream infection (BSI) is a leading, preventable infectious complication in critically ill patients and has a negative impact on patients' outcome. Surveillance definitions for primary BSI distinguish those that are microbiologically documented from those that are not. The latter is known as clinical sepsis, but information on its epidemiologic importance is limited. We analyzed pr...

متن کاملIdentification of Staphylococcus species with the VITEK 2 system: the case of Staphylococcus hominis.
We read with interest the paper by Layer et al. regarding the identification of staphylococci with automated systems including VITEK-2 (bioMérieux, Marcy l’Etoile, France) (6). Of 86 strains analyzed in their study, 4 were Staphylococcus hominis and all were correctly identified by the colorimetric ID-GP VITEK-2 cards. Identical results have been reported in recent studies evaluating 13 and 14 ...
