Abstract
In a 3-month study done in Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), 7 out of 320 methicillin resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>isolates were confirmed as heterogeneous vancomycin intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) using the glycopeptide resistance detection e-test and population analysis, giving a prevalence rate of 2.19%. This is the first report of hVISA in Malaysia.
