Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: An Enterococcus faecium isolate (Efa-125) carrying both the vanA and vanB genes was recovered from a patient with bacteraemia treated in a Greek hospital. Since this is the first description in Europe of E. faecium carrying both vanA and vanB genes, the isolate was further studied. METHODS: Susceptibility to several antibiotics was determined using the VITEK®2 automated system. The isolate was typed...
