Abstract excerpt
Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of vancomycin (VCM) and teicoplanin (TEIC) were measured using a novel susceptibility test based on the chemiluminescence assay (CA) method (Rapid-Lumi Eiken; Eiken Chemicals, Tokyo, Japan) against 33 strains in total: 7, 5, and 10 strains of which are VCM-resistant enterococci (VRE) with vanA, vanB, and vanC genes, respectively, and the other 11 strains are...
