Detection of glycopeptide resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
Sir, We have a number of comments regarding the recent letter from Aucken et al. describing a study of the incidence of GISA (glycopeptide-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus) in the UK using a number of different methodologies at different times. The emergence of S. aureus with reduced susceptibility to glycopeptides (particularly vancomycin), whilst a significant threat also poses interesting ...

متن کاملMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Etiology Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive, coagulase positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains are resistant to methicillin and essentially all other beta-lactam antibiotics. MRSA isolates are genetically heterogeneous. 1 Some strains, which are called epidemic strains; are more prevalent and can spread within or between hospitals an...
متن کاملMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen often carried asymptomatically on the human body. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains have acquired a gene that makes them resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics. Hospital-associated strains of this organism are serious nosocomial pathogens that have become resistant to most common antibiotics, and treatment can be challenging. Com...
