Susceptibility Lab Study Concepts Case Study Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) was isolated from the exit site of a dialysis catheter in a 40-year-old diabetic with a history of peripheral vascular disease, chronic renal failure, and chronic foot ulcers. A few months earlier, the patient's gangrenous toe had been amputated. Following that surgery, the patient developed bacteremia with methicillin-resistant S. aureus from an infected hemodialysis graft. Vancomycin, rifampin, and graft removal successfully treated the infection. A few months later, when the...
