A multi-center blinded study on the efficiency of phenotypic screening methods to detect glycopeptide intermediately susceptible <it>Staphylococcus aureus </it>(GISA) and heterogeneous GISA (h-GISA)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Backgrounds</p> <p>To determine the true incidence of hGISA/GISA and its consequent clinical impact, methods must be defined that will reliably and reproducibly discriminate these resistant phenotypes from vancomycin susceptible <it>S. aureus &l...
