Clinical Features, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Bacteremia due to Enterococci with High-Level Gentamicin Resistance: Comparison with Bacteremia due to Enterococci without High-Level Gentamicin Resistance
High-level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) in enterococci has increased since the 1980s, but the clinical significance of the resistance and its impact on outcome have not been established. One hundred and thirty-six patients with bacteremia caused by enterococci with HLGR (HLGR group) were compared with 79 patients with bacteremia caused by enterococci without HLGR (non-HLGR group). Hematologic m...
متن کاملMolecular Genetic Profiling of Clinical and Foodborne Strains of Enterococci with High Level Resistance to Gentamicin and Vancomycin
Enterococci often acquire antimicrobial resistance through horizontal gene transfer. Relatedness between enterococci with high level resistance to gentamicin and vancomycin isolated from humans, food and hospital environment in Tandil County (Argentina) was investigated. PCR amplification for species determination was carried out. Resistance to seven antimicrobials was studied; virulence genes ...
متن کاملHigh Level Resistance to Aminoglycosides in Urinary Isolates of Enterococci
Sir, Enterococci have become important nosocomial pathogens world-wide and are associated with a high mortality. The treatment of these infections poses a great challenge due to the inherent resistance of Enterococci to many antibiotics.[1] Infections by Enterococci have traditionally been treated with cell wall active agents in combination with an aminoglycoside; however, the emergence of high...
متن کاملImpact of different antimicrobial therapies on clinical and fiscal outcomes of patients with bacteremia due to vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a growing health problem, and uncertainties exist regarding the optimal therapy for bloodstream infection due to VRE. We conducted systematic comparative evaluations of the impact of different antimicrobial therapies on the outcomes of patients with bloodstream infections due to VRE. A retrospective study from January 2008 to October 2010 was conducted...
