Scope note: Cepas de Staphylococcus aureus resistentes al antibiótico VANCOMICINA. S. aureus adquiere resistencia mediante la adquisición de plásmidos portadores de genes de RESISTENCIA A LA VANCOMICINA. S. aureus con resistencia intermedia a la vancomicina presenta resistencia de bajo nivel a la vancomicina, que requiere una concentración intermedia de vancomicina entre las cepas sensibles y resistentes. Estas cepas de S. aureus con una sensibilidad reducida a la vancomicina y a los antibióticos glucopeptídicos relacionados se observan a menudo en INFECCIONES HOSPITALARIAS.

Scope note: Isolates of the Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to the antibiotic VANCOMYCIN. The S. aureus becomes resistant by acquiring plasmids carrying genes for VANCOMYCIN RESISTANCE. Vancomycin‐intermediate S. aureus has low-level vancomycin resistance requiring an intermediate concentration of vancomycin between sensitive and resistant isolates. These S. aureus with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and related GLYCOPEPTIDE antibiotics are often seen in HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS.
