The importance of pets as reservoirs of resistant Enterococcus strains, with special reference to vancomycin.

Journal of veterinary medicine. B, Infectious diseases and veterinary public health - 1 Aug 2002

Rodrigues J, Poeta P, Martins A, Costa D

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, with special attention to vancomycin, in 104 strains of Enterococcus, which is the sentinel bacterium isolated from dog and cat faeces samples. The phenotypic characterization of the isolates classified them as E. faecium (58%), E. avium (41%) and E. faecalis (1%). Sensitivity testing used the diffusion method according to...
