VanD-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates A902 and BM4538, which were resistant to relatively high levels of vancomycin (128 and 64 microg/ml, respectively) and to low levels of teicoplanin (4 microg/ml), and Enterococcus faecalis clinical isolates BM4539 and BM4540, which were resistant to moderate levels of vancomycin (16 microg/ml) and susceptible to teicoplanin (0.25 microg/ml), were studied. ...
متن کاملCharacterization of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis.
Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium 180, a clinical isolate from England, was studied. Resistance to vancomycin was transferable by conjugation to other enterococci. Expression of resistance was inducible and coincided with the appearance of a new membrane protein.
متن کاملDefining daptomycin resistance prevention exposures in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and E. faecalis.
Daptomycin is used off-label for enterococcal infections; however, dosing targets for resistance prevention remain undefined. Doses of 4 to 6 mg/kg of body weight/day approved for staphylococci are likely inadequate against enterococci due to reduced susceptibility. We modeled daptomycin regimens in vitro to determine the minimum exposure to prevent daptomycin resistance (Dapr) in enterococci. ...
متن کاملprevalence of virulence factors and vancomycin-resistant genes among enterococcus faecalis and e. faecium isolated from clinical specimens
background: the aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of virulence determinants and vancomycin- resistant genes among enterococcus faecalis and e. faecium obtained from various clinical sources. methods: the study was performed on the 280 enterococcal isolated from clinical specimens in hamadan hospitals, western iran in 2012-14. antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using...
متن کاملPresence of virulence factors in Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium susceptible and resistant to vancomycin
Despite the increasing importance of Enterococcus as opportunistic pathogens, their virulence factors are still poorly understood. This study determines the frequency of virulence factors in clinical and commensal Enterococcus isolates from inpatients in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Fifty Enterococcus isolates were analysed and the presence of the gelE, asa1 and esp genes was determined. Gelatinase ac...
