Emergence of low level vancomycin resistance in MRSA. Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology. 2003 Jul-Sep; 21(3): 196-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/53708One hundred and twenty methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains were checked for minimum inhibitory concenteration (MIC) of vancomycin. The results showed that 98 strains (81.7 %) had MIC 32microg/mL) values points towards possible emergence of low level vancomycin resistance in the organisms and may explain the reasons of delayed therapeutic success of vancomycin in S.aureus bacteraemia in some situations.engJournal Article
