Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistant (MDR) enterococci are important nosocomial pathogens causing serious problem in hospitalized patients. The aim of present study was to investigate the frequency of high-level aminoglycoside-resistant and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and virulence encoding genes in enterococci isolated from hospitalized patients. METHODS: A total of 100 enterococci isolated from urine...
