Detection of clonally related vanB2-containing Enterococcus faecium strains in two Spanish hospitals

16 Aug 2006

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to characterize the resistance mechanism in four clinical and five intestinal vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains with VanB phenotype recovered from unrelated patients confined in two Spanish hospitals and to determine their clonal relationships. MIC values for vancomycin and teicoplanin were 16-32 and 0.5 microg ml-1, respectively. The mechanism of vancomycin resistance,...
