Purpose: The objective of this study is to assess the distribution of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates and evaluate the efficacy of vancomycin relative to vancomycin MICs in adult patients with MRSA nosocomial pneumonia. Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved adults with MRSA nosocomial pneumonia treated with vancomycin. Vancomycin MICs were determined using Etest. Patients with MRSA and vancomycin MICs >= 1.5 mu g/mL and those with MRSA and MICs
