Abstract
Patients with invasive infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), especially those with an elevated minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of vancomycin (VA), are likely to have treatment failure and poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to delineate and correlate the genotypes and phenotypes of clinical VA-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) from invasive infections in Taiwan.
