I want to get a fully Vancomycin resistant staphylococcus aureus strain. I checked the ATCC and found that they offer only intermediate resistant strains ? Any suggestions for alternative sources?
I would suggest that you network with microbiology colleagues who are working with antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus strains. I have access to plenty of MRSA, but I don't personally work with VRSA. Of course, there may be issues of exchanging these ARO's.
Rodney E. Rohde : i got your point ............ but i want to get one of the 2 original VRSA strains isolated from Michigan and pensylvania
For the isolation of vancomycin resistant staphylococcus, first you shoul prepared MHA plate with different concentration of vancomycin than spread you culture than after incubation you will get small colony varient
if you get any difficulty during performing this experiment than you further contact to me
@Sadhana Sagar : i don't want to isolate VRSA .............. i want to purchase a standard strain
