We screened 533 and 361 methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated in a university hospital in 2002 and 2003 and in 2006 and 2007, respectively, and identified 4 (0.8%) of the strains in the first group and 8 (2.2%) of the strains in second group as heterogeneous vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (heterogeneous VISA) strains and 3 (0.8%) of the strains in the second group as VISA strains. This is the first report of VISA strains isolated from patients in Thailand.
我们分别对2002年和2003年以及2006年和2007年在一所大学医院分离出的533株和361株耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌菌株进行了筛选，在第一组菌株中鉴定出4株（0.8%）为异质性耐万古霉素金黄色葡萄球菌（异质性VISA）菌株，在第二组菌株中鉴定出8株（2.2%）为异质性VISA菌株，在第二组菌株中还鉴定出3株（0.8%）为VISA菌株。这是泰国从患者中分离出VISA菌株的首次报告。
