Heteroresistance to Vancomycin in Enterococcus faecium [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2001 ABSTRACT This study presents the first report of vancomycin heteroresistance in an Enterococcus faecium isolate from a patient. The original isolate was susceptible in vitro to vancomycin. E-tests showed growth of subcolonies in a zone of inhibition with a vancomycin MIC of >256 μg/ml.
