Comparison of phenotypic methods to identify enterococci intrinsically resistant to vancomycin (VanC VRE).

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease - 1 Feb 2000

Ramotar K, Woods W, Larocque L, Toye B

Abstract excerpt

Clinical laboratories must be able to differentiate between enterococci possessing acquired resistance to vancomycin (vanA and vanB genotypes) from those that are inherently resistant (vanC1 and vanC2/C3 genotypes). We compared several routine phenotypic tests to determine the species identity of clinical isolates of enterococci and a PCR assay for the van ligase genes was used to confirm identification of VanC...
