Decreased vancomycin MICs among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates at a Chinese tertiary hospital over a 12-year period

Decreased vancomycin MICs among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates at a Chinese tertiary hospital over a 12-year period

The increased vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration values (MICs) for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates are associated with treatment failure and mortality of MRSA infections. In the present study, 553 non-duplicate MRSA isolates from various specimens of patients wit...
