antibiotic resistance in enterococcus faecalis isolated from hospitalized patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
background and aims. enterococci are gram-positive cocci that often occur in pairs (diplococci) or short chains. beside developing high level of antibiotic resistance, these bacteria can cause wide range of disease in human, thus to help provide an effective treatment for infections caused by this genus, this study was conceived to provide information on enterococcus faecalis antibiotic resistance to widely used antibiotics in hospitalized patients. materials and methods. disk diffusion agar and broth dilution methods were used to perform antibiogram test on isolated enterococcus faecalis. culture medium used for disk diffusion agar test was muller hinton agar, and for broth dilution methods, muller hinton broth culture medium was utilized. in disk diffusion agar method, different commercial antibiotics disks produced by pharmaceutical companies were used. microsoft excel software was used to perform statistical analysis. results. based on antibiograms of 105 cases, a high resistance to synercid, nalidixic acid, oxacillin and teofilin was detected whereas the lowest resistance observed in nitrofurantoin, vancomycin, linezolid and teicoplanin antibiotics. conclusion. according to the results, teicoplanin, vancomycin, linezolid and nitrofurantoin are recommended against e. faecalis species.

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 ...

Slime factor production and antibiotic resistance of 67 Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated from chicken arthritis were investigated in this study. Slime factor productions of enterococci were found as 59.7%. The antibiotic resistances were investigated by testing gentamycin, penicillin, streptomycin, vancomycin, danofloxacin, and enrofloxacin. The resistance rates were found as 62.68%, 76.1...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance patterns and genetic relatedness of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolated from military working dogs in Korea
Enterococcus spp. are normally present in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans, but can cause opportunistic infections that can be transmitted to other animals or humans with integrated antibiotic resistance. To investigate if this is a potential risk in military working dogs (MWDs), we analyzed antibiotic resistance patterns and genetic relatedness of Enterococcus spp. isolated fr...
متن کاملDifferences in antibiotic resistance patterns of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from farm and pet animals.
The prevalence of acquired resistance in 146 Enterococcus faecium and 166 Enterococcus faecalis strains from farm and pet animals, isolated in 1998 and 1999 in Belgium, against antibiotics used for growth promotion and for therapy was determined. Acquired resistance against flavomycin and monensin, two antibiotics used solely for growth promotion, was not detected. Avoparcin (glycopeptide) resi...
