Determination of virulence and multidrug resistance genes with polymerase chain reaction method in vancomycin-sensitive and -resistant enterococci isolated from clinical samples*

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIM: Enterococci play an important role in nosocomial infections. Therefore, this study investigates multidrug resistance (MDR)1 gene areas in the pathogenicity of enterococci and virulence genes in both vancomycin-sensitive enterococci (VSE) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Virulence genes and MDR genes of enterococci were investigated by polymerase chain...
