== Treatment ==
==[[Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
VISA and VRSA cannot be successfully treated with vancomycin because these organisms are no longer susceptibile to vancomycin. However, to date, all VISA and VRSA isolates have been susceptible to other Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs.

=== Primary Prevention ===
==[[Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
Use of appropriate infection control practices (such as wearing gloves before and after contact with infectious body substances and adherence to hand hygiene) by healthcare personnel can reduce the spread of VISA and VRSA.

=== Secondary Prevention ===
==[[Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
Because VISA and VRSA are only part of the larger problem of antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings, CDC has started a Campaign to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance. The campaign centers around four strategies that clinicians can use to prevent antimicrobial resistance: prevent infections; diagnose and treat infections effectively; use antimicrobials wisely; and prevent transmission. A series of evidence-based steps are described that can reduce the development and spread of resistant organisms such as VISA and VRSA.
