Palmitoleic acid sensitizes vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin by outpacing the expression of resistance genes

Microbiology Spectrum
The rise in antibiotic resistance limits the availability of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. Despite this, antibiotic development pipelines remain sparse which makes using adjuvants to reverse antibiotic resistance a promising therapeutic ...

Performance of vancomycin and teicoplanin disk diffusion test in isogenic vancomycin non-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015
Introduction: Detection of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) is currently problematic. Although the population analysis profile with area under the curve (PAP-AUC) is the gold standard for detecting hVISA strains, this ...
