Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Beata Mlynarczyk-Bonikowska et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the mechanisms of drug resistance in S. aureus, including resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, glycopeptides, oxazolidinones, MLS-B, aminoglycosides and spectinomicin, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, mupirocin, fusidic acid, daptomycin, as well as other antibiotics and chemotherapeutics. It also covers the molecular epidemiology of MRSA.

Impact of vancomycin use trend change due to the availability of alternative antibiotics on the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus with reduced vancomycin susceptibility: a 14-year retrospective study

Yu Ri Kang et al.

Summary: The prevalence of vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA)/heterogeneous VISA (hVISA) did not significantly decrease over a 14-year period, despite a decrease in the average length of vancomycin therapy. The increase in strains carrying rpoB gene mutations may be contributing to this trend.
