Epidemiologic evaluation of antimicrobial resistance in community-acquired enterococci.
Fecal samples from 200 consecutive patients admitted to a community hospital yielded 107 enterococci. High-level gentamicin resistance occurred in 10 (14%) of the Enterococcus faecalis isolates. Ampicillin resistance occurred in two (3%) of the E. faecalis isolates and six (23%) of the Enterococcus faecium isolates. There were no vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Risk factors for enterococci wi...

متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance in Enterococci
Enterococci show intrinsic low resistance to a large number of antibiotics (β-lactams, lincosamines, aminoglycosides and trimetoprim-sulfametoxazol). In addition, Enterococci can acquire new resistance to antimicrobial agents. This can happen by mutation or acquisition of extrachromosomal DNA, as plasmids or transposons. Resistance to erythromycin, aminoglycosides and tetracycline are common. R...

متن کاملCost-Effectiveness and Antimicrobial Resistance in Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) covers those infections of the lung parenchyma that are not acquired in hospital or a long-term care facility. CAP is a common infectious disease, with annual incidence rates of 1.6 per 1,000 adults in Spain and 11.6 per 1,000 adults in Finland [1, 2]. CAP is associated with significant morbidity and is the leading cause of death due to infection in developed ...
