Frequency of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci isolated from clinical samples of Shahid Mohammadi hospital through the E-test method
Introduction: Enterococci are gram-positive coccoid bacteria that are present in the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract in human, and many mammals and birds, as well as the environment. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) are a major and rising problem in hospitals throughout the world. The present study aimed to investigate the frequency of strains of Enterococci and the pattern of ...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of vanHAX Element in Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci Isolated from Hospitalized Patients in Tehran
Background: Vancomycin (glycopeptide)-resistant enterococci (VRE or GRE) can cause serious problems for hospitalized patients due to the limited options for treatment of VRE infections. As infection with VRE increases in hospitals, further knowledge about vancomycin resistant genes is needed. Methods: Isolates of Enterococcus spp. were collected from hospitalized patients in Tehran (Iran) durin...

متن کاملReduced susceptibility to vancomycin and biofilm formation in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from blood cultures
This study aimed to correlate the presence of ica genes, biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance in 107 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from blood cultures. The isolates were analysed to determine their methicillin resistance, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type, ica genes and biofilm formation and the vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was ...
