Vancomycin Resistance in Staphylococci [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2002 SUMMARY Vancomycin resistance has been reported in clinical isolates of both coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus . The emerging threat of widespread vancomycin resistance poses a serious public health concern given the fact that vancomycin has long been the ...
