The in vitro susceptibilty of Staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin was evaluated from impatients at a Brazilian University Hospital by the Etest and a screening method. No vancomycin intermediate (VISA) or vancomycin resistant (VRSA) S. aureus isolate was identified. Three patients presented as heteroresistant VISA (h-VISA) isolates but none of them received vancomycin previously.
