Performance of Various Testing Methodologies for Detection of Heteroresistant Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus in Bloodstream Isolates

Abstract: The best screening method for detecting heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) remains unclear. Using population analysis profiling utilizing the area under the concentration-time curve (PAP-AUC) as the gold standard, we screened 458 consecutive methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bloodstream isolates to determine the most accurate and cost-effective testing strategy to detect the presence of heteroresistance. All isolates were also tested using the macromethod Etest (MET) and… Show more

“…Thus, an assay that can reliably detect these isolates in the clinical microbiology laboratory is of considerable interest. While a number of screening methods for hVISA have been published (e.g., BHI agar supplemented with 3 g/ml vancomycin), these typically require prolonged incubation (48 h) (41,42). We have shown that our assay can detect between two-thirds and three-quarters of the PAP-AUC-confirmed hVISA …”

“…Bu suşları saptamak için bir dizi tarama deneyi geliştirilmiş, ancak uygun ve güvenilir olan standart bir yaklaşım saptanamamıştır. Bu suşların saptanmasında kolay, hızlı ve ucuz olması nedeniyle rutin laboratuvarlarda 3-4-6 mg/L vankomisin içeren BHI tarama yöntemi kullanıl-maktadır 18,19 .…”

“…Her bir suşa ait üremenin olmadı-ğı en düşük konsantrasyon minimal inhibitör konsantrasyon (MİK) olarak değerlendirildi. Klinik ve Laboratuvar Standartları Enstitüsü (CLSI) kriterlerine (9) göre vankomisin MİK değeri okundu. S. aureus için ≤2 μg/ml olanlar duyarlı, 4-8 μg/ml olanlar orta derecede duyarlı, ≥16 μg/ml olanlar da dirençli kabul edildi (9) .…”
