Do you know vancomycin resistant strains of staph.aureus are becoming more common?

Hi. The answer is yes.
You can refer to my review which is now published ahead of print in the "infectious diseases in clinical practice" journal. The available link is:

Some new reports of VRSA in the literature:
1st case in Europe, 1st case in Portugal:

1st case in South America, 1st case in Brazil:

And we have also recently found a new VRSA from south of Iran, you can find the preliminary report of this unusual strain at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23880172.
Does anybody know any other report of VRSA apart from those that I have mentioned?
I would be very glad if other researchers help to find the other possible relevant articles.
