Low-level antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is a frequently overlooked phenomenon, usually not detected by standard susceptibility testing procedures. It represents a gateway to high-level clinically relevant resistance. Moreover, low-level resistance may be associated with increased virulence, resistance to unrelated compounds and more successful in vivo survival.
金黄色葡萄球菌中的低水平抗生素耐药性是一种经常被忽视的现象,通常无法通过标准药敏试验程序检测到。它是通向高水平临床相关耐药性的一个途径。此外,低水平耐药性可能与毒力增加、对无关化合物的耐药性以及在体内更成功的存活有关。
