Archivo: Staphylococcus aureus 01

Description: This SEM shows a strain of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria taken from a vancomycin intermediate resistant culture (VISA). Under SEM, one can not tell the difference between bacteria that are susceptible or multidrug resistant, but with TEM, at least with VISA isolates one can see a thickening in the cell wall that may attribute to their reduced susceptibility to vancomycin.
