Absence of VanA- and VanB-containing enterococci in poultry raised on nonintensive production farms in Brazil.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined cloacal samples from poultry raised on nonintensive production farms in Brazil for the presence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. No VanA- or VanB-containing enterococci were identified in a total of 200 cloacal swabs. The most prevalent species were Enterococcus gallinarum (vanC1; 13.0%) and E. casseliflavus (vanC2/3; 5.5%).

BACKGROUND Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as a growing problem in hospitals; however, domesticated animals, poultry, and wild birds are acting as potential reservoirs. There is a knowledge gap in the Epidemiology of VRE from Bangladesh. METHODS To study the prevalence of VRE and the mechanisms of resistance implicated among wild birds, 238 fecal samples were collected in ...
