What are Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) and Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA)?

Staphylococcus aureus (“staph”) is a common type of bacteria (germ) that is often found on the skin and in the nose of healthy people. It can also grow in wounds or other sites in the body, sometimes causing an infection.

Antibiotics are drugs used to treat infections caused by bacteria. Sometimes bacteria can change so that these drugs are no longer effective. When this happens, these germs are called “antibiotic resistant.” Over time, staph bacteria have become difficult to treat with certain types of antibiotics, including vancomycin. To measure the amount of resistance staph has to vancomycin, laboratories test how much vancomycin it takes to prevent the growth of staph. If there is some resistance, it is called vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA). If there is a lot of resistance, it is called vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA).
