Influence of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration on the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
BACKGROUND Vancomycin treatment failure in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia is not uncommon, even when MRSA is susceptible to vancomycin. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration has any influence on the mortality associated with MRSA bacteremia. METHODS A total of 414 episodes of MRSA bacteremia were prospectively f...
متن کاملMinimum 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 ...

Correspondence Daptomycin or Vancomycin for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus with a Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration .1 mg/L To the Editor—We commend Moore et al for their study comparing the effectiveness and safety of vancomycin and daptomycin in the treatment of bacteremia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with a vancomycin minimal inhibitory con...
متن کاملAccessory Gene Regulator Polymorphism and Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia with a vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 µg/mL presents a high rate of therapeutic failure in response to vancomycin. In addition, polymorphism in accessory gene regulator (agr) is associated with vancomycin therapeutic effects. The association between agr polymorphism and vancomycin MICs was investiga...
متن کاملvancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infections; is there difference in mortality between patients?
conclusions regarding clinical and laboratory standards institute (clsi) definition for vancomycin susceptibility (mic < 2 μg/ml), it seems that vancomycin may not be considered as the best antibiotic in order to treat heteroresistant vancomycin intermediate s. aureus (hvisa) and vancomycin sensitive s. aureus (vssa) infections, and a new breakpoint for vancomycin and alternative antibiotics sh...
