Infection with Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Containing the vanA Resistance Gene
2009
Vancomycin-resistant S. aureus was cultured from the exit site of a temporary dialysis catheter of a patient with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and persistent foot ulcers. The organism carried the vanA resistance gene, which may have come from the vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis that was also isolated from the patient, who had received vancomycin for several weeks.
