Polyclonal diffusion of beta-lactamase-producing Enterococcus faecium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe here the isolation of 8 beta-lactamase-producing multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in 2010. All strains showed diverse pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles, all belonging to the same clonal complex, CC17. By PCR and hybridization experiments, the entire blaZ-blaI-blaR1 operon was found. The beta-lactamase activity was demonstrated at a high inoculum and in the presence of methicillin after overnight incubation.

متن کاملStatus of high level aminoglycoside resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis in a rural hospital of central India.
Considering the emergence of high level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR) in enterococci this study was undertaken to determine their status in a rural setting. HLAR by disc diffusion and agar dilution, beta lactamase by nitrocefin disc and vancomycin resistance by agar dilution was determined in 150 enterococcal isolates, as per NCCLS guidelines. Only two species, Enterococcus faecalis (85.5%) ...
متن کاملAbility of clinical laboratories to detect antimicrobial agent-resistant enterococci.
To test the ability of clinical laboratories to detect antimicrobial resistance among enterococci, we sent four vancomycin-resistant enterococcal strains and one beta-lactamase-producing enterococcus to all 93 nongovernment, hospital-based clinical laboratories in New Jersey; 76 (82%) participated in the study. Each organism was tested by the laboratory's routine antimicrobial susceptibility te...

In order to determine whether hospital-based clinical laboratories conducting active surveillance for vancomycin-resistant enterococci in three San Francisco Bay area counties (San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties) were accurately reporting vancomycin resistance, five vancomycin-resistant enterococcal strains and one vancomycin-susceptible beta-lactamase-producing enterococcus were...
متن کاملMolecular typing of ampicillin-resistant, non-beta-lactamase-producing Enterococcus faecium isolates from diverse geographic areas.
Molecular typing methods were compared by using 66 ampicillin-resistant, non-beta-lactamase-producing Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates from diverse geographic areas. Whole-plasmid analysis, restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA with EcoRI and HindIII, and contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis with digestion by SmaI and ApaI were performed on all isolates. Whole-p...
