Abstract:
Vancomycin susceptibility was determined in 125 S. aureus isolates by disk diffusion, microdilution, Etest and vancomycin brain heart infusion (BHI) plate. A 2.0 mg/L vancomycin BHI was highly sensitive (100% and 91% compared to Etest and microdilution) for detecting a MIC≥2 mg/L, and could be used as a simple and affordable screening test.
