Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
1
PAL samples collected for pneumonia evaluation
 Other: etest susceptability testing
E-test methodology is performed on all MRSA samples using standardized inoculum (0.5 McFarland) for Tigecycline, Vancomycin, Teicoplanin, and Linezolid. E test is performed using heavy inoculum for Vancomycin and Teicoplanin (2.0 McFarland).


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Determine the prevalence of PAL hetero-VISA within MRSA isolates using vancomycin E-tests and contrast this with E-tests for teicoplanin, linezolid and tigecycline. [ Time Frame: 1 time ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of automated susceptibility testing for PAL MRSA for vancomycin and alternative agents teicoplanin, linezolid and tigecycline by comparing automated sensitivity testing to E-test results. [ Time Frame: 1 time ]
