This descriptive study was conducted in a public hospital from May 2005 to October 2007, with the purpose to determine the epidemiological aspects that involve vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and describe the evolution of patients. |The data was obtained from registers on patient records and then processed in SPSS. Frequency distribution and measures of central tendency were used. A tota...
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 کاملVanD-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 کاملMultilocus sequence typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium.
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme has been developed for Enterococcus faecium. Internal fragments from seven housekeeping genes of 123 epidemiologically unlinked isolates from humans and livestock and 16 human-derived isolates from several outbreaks in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and The Netherlands were analyzed. A total of 62 sequence types were detected in vanc...
متن کاملEpidemic and Nonepidemic Multidrug-Resistant Enterococcus faecium
The epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant Entero- coccus faecium (VREF) in Europe is characterized by a large community reservoir. In contrast, nosocomial outbreaks and infections (without a community reservoir) characterize VREF in the United States. Previous studies demonstrated host-specific genogroups and a distinct genetic lineage of VREF associated with hospital outbreaks, characterized by...
