Low level ß-lactamase production in methicillin-resistant <it>staphylococcus aureus</it> strains with ß-lactam antibiotics-induced vancomycin resistance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A class of methicillin-resistant <it>Staphylococcus aureus</it> (MRSA) shows resistance to vancomycin only in the presence of ß-lactam antibiotics (BIVR).
