The strain is susceptible to #metronidazole, #vancomycin and fidaxomicin, but the #PacBio -generated complete genome shows it harbors different #AMR genes (as is the case for other NTCD).
- #Vancomycin resistance among all #Enterococcus tested was 59.6% (9,871/16,573),far exceeding the 8–12% reported in national surveillance data.Other resistance rates included -ESBL 28·5%
-MDR 18·8%, MRSA 6.2%, CRE 2.3%. #Antimicrobialresistance declined from 30.4% (2008–2010) to 25.8% (2020–2022)
Trends in the minimum inhibitory concentrations for four agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in bloodstream infections in China: a 6-year multi-center study from 2017 to 2022
A multicenter China study shows #MRSA bloodstream isolates are becoming less sensitive to #vancomycin but more sensitive to #linezolid, while daptomycin and teicoplanin stay stable, highlighting shifting #antimicrobialsusceptibility.

Trends in the minimum inhibitory concentrations for four agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in bloodstream infections in China: a 6-year multi-center study from 2017 to 2022
This multicenter study identified a significant longitudinal trend of decreased #Vancomycin sensitivity with improved #Linezolid susceptibility, providing critical regional insights into the evolving #AntibioticResistance landscape of #MRSA.

#Medsky🧪 #pedsky #pharmsky #immunosky #publichealth Researchers identify a transcriptional signature in neonatal #sepsis that impacts innate and adaptive immunity gene expression but is rapidly reversed with #vancomycin treatment, suggesting this signature could predict patient outcomes.

Patients with serious infections need long-term treatment with the #antibiotic #vancomycin using a portable antibiotic pump. However, they need frequent hospital to ensure the correct dose of vancomycin is given, which is both inconvenient and expensive.

🦠 Overusing vancomycin in pneumonia treatment?
A study co-authored by WSU EACPHS shows that MRSA nasal PCR testing shortens vancomycin duration more effectively than culture-based methods—supporting better antibiotic stewardship.

Concept idea:
“The 48 hour vancomycin study”
Where we evaluate every vanco patient at 48 hrs and get a % for how many still need it/ don’t have better alternatives at that point.
🤔 What percent do you think the results would yield? #IDsky #vancomycin
