| Abstract: | The VISA (vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus) and hetero-VISA strains were found among all isolates of S. aureus obtained in the years 1997-2000. The frequency of VISA was 0.3% and h-VISA was about 3%. Most but not all of the h-VISA and all VISA strains were methicillin resistant. Moreover the usefulness of different methods enabling recognition of the h-VISA strains was compared. |
