The Correlation between Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents and Harboring Virulence Factors among Enterococcus Strains Isolated from Clinical Samples
Objectives: In Iran as well as throughout the world Enterococci have been rated as the important cause of urinary tract and nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between high antimicrobial resistance activity and harboring the virulence factors among clinical Enterococcus isolates. Materials and Methods: Clinical strains were isolated from hospitalized pa...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance and virulence traits in Enterococcus strains isolated from dogs and cats.
We investigated presence and prevalence of antibiotic-resistances and other biological characters in enterococci isolated from faeces of healthy dogs and cats because these microorganisms represent important human and veterinary pathogens/opportunists, and a significant burden for healthcare systems. In all samples (n=115) we detected enterococci, with a predominance of Enterococcus faecium (42...
متن کاملVirulence factors and antibiotic resistance in Enterococcus faecalis isolated from urine samples.
Haemolysin, enterococcal surface protein (Esp), aggregation substance and gelatinase are some markers that have been proposed as possible enterococci virulence factors. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of haemolysin, gelatinase and enterococcal surface protein in enterococci isolated from urine and to determine their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. A total of 50 strains ...
متن کاملComparison of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis Strains Isolated from Water and Clinical Samples: Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Genetic Relationships
Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora in a large number of mammals, and these microbes are currently used as indicators of fecal contamination in water and food for human consumption. These organisms are considered one of the primary causes of nosocomial and environmental infections due to their ability to survive in the environment and to their intrinsic resistance to antimicrobi...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic differences in the expression of virulence factors in antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus faecalis clinical strains
There is no information on investigations comparing phenotypic and genotypic differences in MDR and MDS E. faecalis strains in literature. The study included 70 clinical E. faecalis isolates from human origin. None of the isolates tested demonstrated any in vitro sensitive to vancomycin, with MIC values of all the strains for vancomycin of ≥23 μg/mL. High-level resistances to ampicillin and str...
