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 ...
متن کاملVancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and mortality: more than handwaving?
TO THE EDITOR—We read with great interest the study by Cervera and colleagues on the effect of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (van-MIC) on clinical outcome in 93 patients with leftsided infective endocarditis due to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) [1]. However, various questions remain unanswered. The 3-fold higher mortality in the group of patients with a van-...
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...
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 کاملRole of high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration in the outcome of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
Correspondence Role of High Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration in the Outcome of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia To the Editor—We read with great interest the article by Holmes et al [1] and the editorial commentary published in the same issue [2] regarding the novel topic of the potential role of high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels of vancomycin...
