متن کاملVancomycin heteroresistance and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Heteroresistance refers to the presence, within a larger population of fully antimicrobial-susceptible microorganisms, of subpopulations with lesser susceptibility. This phenomenon has been described in a wide range of microorganisms, but much recent attention has been directed toward its expression in Staphylococcus aureus. Although it has long been known that resistance to methicillin is char...
متن کاملVancomycin Heteroresistance Is Associated with Reduced Mortality in ST239 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Blood Stream Infections
BACKGROUND Despite hVISA infections being associated with vancomycin treatment failure, no previous study has been able to detect a mortality difference between heteroresistant vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) and vancomycin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (VSSA) bloodstream infections (BSI). METHODOLOGY Consecutive methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) BSI episodes be...
متن کاملRelevance of vancomycin-intermediate susceptibility and heteroresistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia.
OBJECTIVES To assess the relevance of vancomycin-intermediate susceptibility (VISA) and heteroresistance (hVISA) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia. METHODS We determined vancomycin MICs for 371 saved MRSA blood isolates (2002-03; 2005-06) by Etest and broth microdilution (BMD), screened for hVISA (Etest methods), determined the population analysis profile (PAP)...
متن کاملPrevalence 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...
