Frequent transmission of enterococcal strains between mechanically ventilated patients treated at an intensive care unit.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

The objectives of this investigation were to study the respiratory tract colonization and transmission of enterococci between 20 patients treated with mechanical ventilation at an intensive care unit (ICU), to compare genotyping with phenotyping, and to determine the antibiotic susceptibilities of the isolated enterococci. Samples were collected from the oropharynx, stomach, subglottic space, and trachea within...
