Abstract excerpt

This study evaluated the occurrence of enterococci resistant to clinically relevant antibiotics in long-term care facility (LTCF) residents in Porto, Portugal, a region with high rates of multidrug-resistant enterococci in infected patients and healthy carriers. Faecal samples from 48 residents in two LTCFs (2015-2016) were enriched (with/without antibiotics) and plated on Slanetz-Bartley with/without the same...
