Article Abstract
Background: The evolving antibiotic-resistant behavior of health care-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) USA100 strains are of major concern. They are resistant to a broad class of antibiotics such as macrolides, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and many more.
Findings: The selection of appropriate antibiotic susceptibility examination media is very important. Thus, we use bacteriological (cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth) as well as physiological (R10LB) media to determine the effect of vancomycin on USA100 strains. The study includes the profiling behavior of HA-MRSA USA100 D592 and D712 strains in the presence of vancomycin through various high-throughput assays. The US100 D592 and D712 strains were characterized at sub-inhibitory concentrations through growth curves, RNA sequencing, bacterial cytological profiling, and exo-metabolomics high throughput experiments.
Conclusions: The study reveals the vancomycin resistance behavior of HA-MRSA USA100 strains in dual media conditions using wide-ranging experiments.

The fitness costs (FCs) of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are crucial issues in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) onset, spread, and, consequently, public health. In , AMR can induce significant FCs due to slow growth, low competitiveness, and virulence. Here, we investigated the genomics and FCs emerging for progressively acquiring daptomycin (DAP) and glycopeptide (GLY) reduced susceptibility in MRSA.

Resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily efflux pumps promote antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative pathogens, but their role in Gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is undocumented. However, recent selections for resistance of S. aureus to an antimicrobial fatty acid, linoleic acid, and an antibiotic, rhodomyrtone, identified H121Y and C116R substitution variants, respectively, in a TetR family regulator, FarR, promoting increased expression of the RND pump FarE.

Article Synopsis
- MRSA is a major cause of both healthcare and community infections, with USA300 being the community strain and USA100 being the healthcare strain.
- Researchers used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to refine an antibiotic prediction rule that distinguishes between these strains based on their resistance patterns, collecting MRSA isolates from 2007 to 2017.
- The study found that lower resistance (≤2 antibiotic classes) predicted USA300 with good accuracy, and higher resistance was linked to individuals with a history of incarceration, indicating a more resistant strain circulating in at-risk communities.

As concerns arise that the vancomycin MIC of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) could be increased by concurrent colistin administration, we evaluated the effect of colistin on vancomycin efficacy against MRSA via and studies. Among MRSA blood isolates collected in a tertiary-care hospital, we selected representative strains from community-associated MRSA strains (CA-MRSA; ST72-MRSA-SCC IV) and hospital-acquired MRSA strains (HA-MRSA; ST5-MRSA-SCC II). USA CA-MRSA (USA300), HA-MRSA (USA100), N315 (New York/Japan clone), and a MRSA standard strain (ATCC 43300) were used for comparison.
