MICs and inhibitory zone diameters of norvancomycin were determined by broth microdilution and the disc diffusion method, separately. ECOFFs of norvancomycin for four species were calculated by ECOFFinder software following EUCAST principles. Methicillin and vancomycin resistance genes (mecA\/mecC and vanA\/vanB\/vanC\/vanD\/vanE) were screened for by PCR in all isolates. Pearson correlation and \u03c72 test were used to calculate the correlation of MICs and inhibition zone diameters, and MICs and resistance genes, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>MICs of norvancomycin for all strains from five laboratories fell in the range of 0.12\u20132\u2009mg\/L.

A weak correlation was observed between MIC values and zone diameters for S. haemolyticus (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.36) and S. hominis (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.26), while no correlation was found for S. epidermidis and S. aureus. The mecA gene was detected in 63.1% of Staphylococcus, whereas no isolate carried mecC, vanA, vanB, vanC, vanD or vanE.
