Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> : Catheter Colonization, <i>esp</i> Gene, and Decreased Susceptibility to Antibiotics in Biofilm

22 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

To evaluate the molecular characteristics and antibiotic susceptibility in biofilm of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) organisms that had caused catheter-related VREF bacteremia (VREF-CRB), we compared 22 isolates causing bacteremia obtained from patients with VREF-CRB with 30 isolates from control patients with gastrointestinal colonization by VREF. Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, we...
