Occurrence of a USA300 vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus
JC Hageman, J Patel, P Franklin, K Miscavish… - … and infectious disease, 2008 - Elsevier
A vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) isolated from the blood of a 46-
year-old patient with endocarditis was determined to be pulsed-field type USA300,
daptomycin nonsusceptible, and positive for the Panton–Valentine leukocidin genes.
Development of the VISA phenotype does not appear limited to traditional health care
strains of S. aureus.
