Vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations using different susceptibility methods in Staphylococcus aureus isolates

Vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations using different susceptibility methods in Staphylococcus aureus isolates.

Vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations and outcome in patients with severe Staphylococcus aureus infection.

To the Editor—As Holland and Fowler point out in their excellent commentary [1], there are many unresolved issues in the measurement and clinical interpretation of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). There is, however, one major omission from their otherwise comprehensive review of published, peer-reviewed outcome studies versus MIC in serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococc...

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Staphylococcus Aureus against Vancomycin

The main objective of this investigation is to find out the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Staphylococcus aureus with reduced inclination to vancomycin among 30 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and was screened by Etest and broth dilution methods. The comparative analysis of MIC for vancomycin by broth dilution and Etest methods discloses that ...

Effects of Sub-Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Silver Nanoparticles on Some Virulence Factors of Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT          Background and Objectives: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have physical and surface properties that could threaten human and environmental health. AgNPs are classified as ‘very toxic’ to eukaryotic organisms and are less toxic to bacteria. The aim of the present study was to study the effects of different sub-minimum inhi...

Reduced Susceptibility to Vancomycin in Staphylococcus aureus

Our report highlights an alarming situation in Réunion Island. Reemergence of CS after the increase of early syphilis in women of childbearing age must be considered as a public health alert, especially in countries where health care is supposed to be effi cient. CS is easy to prevent with adequate screening of the mother and good follow-up of seropositive parturients. The results of our study ...
