Clinical Features, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Bacteremia due to Enterococci with High-Level Gentamicin Resistance: Comparison with Bacteremia due to Enterococci without High-Level Gentamicin Resistance
High-level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) in enterococci has increased since the 1980s, but the clinical significance of the resistance and its impact on outcome have not been established. One hundred and thirty-six patients with bacteremia caused by enterococci with HLGR (HLGR group) were compared with 79 patients with bacteremia caused by enterococci without HLGR (non-HLGR group). Hematologic m...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Vitek GPS-TA card for laboratory detection of high-level gentamicin and streptomycin resistance in enterococci.
The Vitek GPS-TA card (Vitek Systems, Hazelwood, Mo.) was compared with single-concentration broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods using high-content disks for the detection of high-level resistance to gentamicin and streptomycin in 99 isolates of enterococci (81 Enterococcus faecalis isolates and 18 Enterococcus faecium isolates). The GPS-TA card accurately detected high-level resista...
متن کاملHigh Level Resistance to Aminoglycosides in Urinary Isolates of Enterococci
Sir, Enterococci have become important nosocomial pathogens world-wide and are associated with a high mortality. The treatment of these infections poses a great challenge due to the inherent resistance of Enterococci to many antibiotics.[1] Infections by Enterococci have traditionally been treated with cell wall active agents in combination with an aminoglycoside; however, the emergence of high...
