T1 - Intermediate Vancomycin Susceptibility in a Community-associated MRSA Clone T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 3 SP - 491 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We describe a case of treatment failure caused by a strain of USA300 community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with intermediate susceptibility to vancomycin and reduced susceptibility to daptomycin. The strain was isolated from the bone of a 56-year-old man with lumbar osteomyelitis after a 6-week treatment course of vancomycin for catheter-associated septic thrombophlebitis.
