September 2008

Nine Staphylococcus capitis isolates from blood cultures of newborns were examined for resistance to vancomycin. MICs were within the susceptible range, but population profiling revealed a resistant subpopulation. Only isolates with the largest subpopulation were identified as heteroresistant to vancomycin by Etest.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Muhammad Shihab Rahman"

  • - Muhammad Shihab Rahman's research primarily focuses on the antimicrobial resistance patterns in clinically significant pathogens, particularly Staphylococcus capitis.
  • - In his 2008 study published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, he investigated vancomycin heteroresistance in bloodstream isolates from newborns, revealing a resistant subpopulation despite the majority being classified as susceptible.
  • - The findings emphasize the importance of population profiling techniques, such as Etest, to identify heteroresistant strains that could complicate treatment outcomes in clinical settings.
