Name for Staphylococcus aureus strains with intermediate sensitivity to glycopeptides. Since the GISA phenotype is unstable, the detection should always be based on fresh primary cultures. An increased minimum inhibitor concentration for vancomycin (at least 4mg/l) and for teicoplanin (at least 8mg/l) are indications for the presence of GISA.
