1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The genetic background for streptogramin resistance was examined in Enterococcus faecium isolated from pigs (n = 55) and broilers (n = 207) in 1997 in Denmark. Fifty-one percent and 67%, respectively, of the isolates were resistant to streptogramins. Among streptogramin-resistant E. faecium (SREF), the genetic background for streptogramin A resistance could be determined in 96% of the isolates from broilers,...
