Combination Effect of Teicoplanin and Various Antibiotics against Hetero-VRSA and VRSA

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1999
Eleven clinical strains of MRSA which were detected as heterogeneously-resistant to vancomycin (hetero-VRSA) on Mu3-medium (a newly devised hetero-VRSA detecting medium) were subjected to a study to explore the therapeutic possibility of combination therapy.

Vancomycin Resistance Among Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Neonatal Sepsis Attending Intensive Care Unit in Shibin El-Kom Teaching Hospital, Egypt

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2018
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of Nosocomial, community acquired infections and neonatal sepsis. The Glycopeptide vancomycin was the drug of choice for treating infections.

Detection of Vancomycin Resistance among Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Vancomycin remains the drug of choice for resistant gram positive infections caused by Enterococcus spp and Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Increased use of vancomycin has led to frank resistance and increase in MIC (

Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(VRSA).

Nihon Shuchu Chiryo Igakukai zasshi, 1999
バンコマイシン(VCM)耐性黄色ブドウ球菌(VRSA)とVCMヘテロ耐性黄色ブドウ球菌(ヘテロVRSA)について,VCMに対する耐性メカニズムをVCM感性黄色ブドウ球菌(VSSA)と比較した結果,両者とも細胞壁合成系の亢進が確認された。この細胞壁合成系の亢進がVCM耐性の要因の1つであると考えられる。また,VRSAの細胞壁中にのみ散在するVCM結合可能なD-Ala-D-Ala(ヘテロVRSAとVSSAには存在しない)がVCMを消費し,本来の標的部位までの到達を妨げるため,VRSAはヘテロVRSAよりもVCM耐性が増強していると考えられる。また,ヘテロVRSAは見かけ上VCM感性菌であり,既存の検出方法では検出できない。しかし,ヘテロVRSAはVCMとβ ...
