Epidemiologic evaluation of Vancomycin Resistant genes in Enterococcus spp. isolated from clinical samples
Background & Objectives: Isolation of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus from clinical samples is very important. The aim of this study was evaluation of phenotype and genotype of van genes in vancomycine resistant Enterococcus. Materials and Methods: 411 Enterococcus isolates were collected from selected Tehran’s hospitals between March 2004 and December 2007. The enterococcal isolates were ide...
متن کاملInvestigation of high-level aminoglycoside resistance in Enterococcus spp. isolated from Caspian horse feces in Guilan province, northern Iran
Background and Aim: Due to the widespread use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine and the increase in livestock production, it seems that the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance in human societies is more related to animals and the veterinary field. In this study, antibiotic resistance, high-level aminoglycoside resistance and frequency of aminoglycoside resistance associated genes amo...
متن کاملAntibiogram analysis and tracking of the virulence-related genes in Enterococcus faecalis isolates
Background and Aim: Enterococcus species are opportunistic pathogens and their pathogenicity seems to be related to the presence of a number of pathogenicity genes. Since donkey’s milk is a new non-allergenic source of nutrition, this study was performed to assess the antibiogram and detection of pathogenicity genes in some Enterococcus faecalis isolates from donkey’s milk. Materials and Method...

Linezolid is often the drug of last resort for serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Linezolid resistance is mediated by mutations in 23S rRNA and genes for ribosomal proteins; cfr, encoding phenicol, lincosamide, oxazolidinone, pleuromutilin, and streptogramin A (PhLOPSA) resistance; its homologue cfr(B); or optrA, conferring oxazolidinone and phenicol resistan...
متن کاملEvaluation of drug sensitivity of Entrococcus faecium and Entrococcus faecalis Strains and Detection of VanA/B Genes in Vancomycin Resistance Isolated by PCR Method
Enterococci, as the major cause of nosocomial infections, have been shown to have an increase in drug resistance during the past two decades. TheEntrococcalemergence of Vancomycin-resistant is very important nowadays. The purpose of this study was to determine the drug sensitivity of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium species against Vancomycin, Tetracycline, Gentamicin, Erythromyci...
