Abstract
Low-level antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is a frequently overlooked phenomenon, usually not detected by standard susceptibility testing procedures. It represents a gateway to high-level clinically relevant resistance. Moreover, low-level resistance may be associated with increased virulence, resistance to unrelated compounds and more successful in vivo survival.Entities:
