We report characterization of a methicillin-susceptible, vancomycin-resistant bloodstream isolate ofStaphylococcus aureus recovered from a patient in Brazil. Emergence of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus would indicate that this resistance trait might be poised to disseminate more rapidly among S. aureus and represents a major public health threat.
