Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the diversity of Enterococcus faecalis populations recovered in different regions of Portugal during the last decade (1996-2007) and to analyse their genetic elements associated with vancomycin resistance. METHODS: Forty E. faecalis isolates (22 vancomycin-susceptible and 18 vancomycin-resistant) representing disseminated and/or multiresistant strains from different...
