Emergence of Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus and S. sciuri, Greece
and specific detection of verotoxin genes in Escherichia coli by the polymerase chain reaction. TE. Detection and characterization of the eae gene of Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli using polymerase chain reaction. To the Editor: Staphylococcal isolates with reduced susceptibility to glycopeptides, such as vancomycin and teicoplanin, are a serious public health problem because staph...
متن کاملEmergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Vancomycin and ampicillin resistance in clinical Enterococcus faecium strains has developed in the past decade. Failure to adhere to strict infection control to prevent the spread of these pathogens has been well established. New data implicate the use of specific classes of antimicrobial agents in the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Extended-spectrum cephalosporins and drugs ...

It is one of the most common community and nosocomial pathogen. It mainly causes skin and soft tissue infections as i...
متن کاملVancomycin-variable Enterococcus faecium: in vivo emergence of vancomycin resistance in a vancomycin-susceptible isolate.
We report the emergence of vancomycin resistance in a patient colonized with a vanA-containing, vanRS-negative isolate of Enterococcus faecium which was initially vancomycin susceptible. This is a previously undescribed mechanism of drug resistance with diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
