Abstract: MRSA are responsible for a high proportion of infections. Vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is rare although, a decreased susceptibility has been described associated to worse outcome. An ultra-rapid antimicrobial susceptibility assay able to provide methicillin- resistance status and vancomycin MIC in S. aureus isolates in 2 h max, was evaluated. A two-sites susceptibility testing of cefoxitin and vancomycin was performed in 119 S. aureus isolates using reference methods and FASTinov® technology (Porto University spin-off, Portugal).
