Characterization of a vga gene variant recovered from a Staphylococcus saprophyticus causing a community-acquired urinary tract infection: report from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program 2017

Characterization of a vga gene variant recovered from a Staphylococcus saprophyticus causing a community-acquired urinary tract infection: report from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program 2017

A patient with a history of UTI acquired an isolate of Staphylococcus saprophyticus that was resistant to clindamycin, streptogramin A, pleuromutilins (LSPs), and oxacillin. A plasmid-located vga variant was identified in this pathogen, and the encoded protein showed a 39% to 67% identity to other p...

Zusammenfassung:A patient with a history of UTI acquired an isolate of Staphylococcus saprophyticus that was resistant to clindamycin, streptogramin A, pleuromutilins (LSPs), and oxacillin. A plasmid-located vga variant was identified in this pathogen, and the encoded protein showed a 39% to 67% identity to other previously characterized vga.
