There have been several reports of upward creep in vancomycin MICs for Staphylococcus aureus [predominantly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)] over recent years, but only in single centres or using contemporaneous results. We aimed to test the hypothesis of MIC creep in a multicentre study, testing all the isolates concurrently.
