First report of qnr and blaVIM-4-like producing clinical Alcaligenes faecalis isolated in Türkiye

The study set out to look at the clinical strain of A. faecalis's antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Both biochemical and molecular approaches were used identify A.faecalis. VITEK compact system was analyze strain's profile. use PCR evaluated determine presence resistance genes. It also determined whether determinants could be transferred. that feacalis showed imipenem, cefepime, ceftazidime, gentamicin, amikacin, netilmicin, tobramicin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin. blaVIM-4-like gene present in this strain, according results DNA sequencing studies. In contrast VIM-4, one amino acid change (Ala265Val).Filter-mating experiments cannot transferred from faecalis E. coli. study, This research, demonstrated for first time Turkey.
