Rapid characterization schemes for surveillance isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Aug 1997

Abstract excerpt

Surveillance cultures for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and subsequent characterization of the isolates can be extremely burdensome and difficult. Therefore, efficient and reliable schemes for the characterization of surveillance isolates are needed. In this study, a commercial agar (bile esculin azide agar with 6 microg of vancomycin per ml [BEAA]; Remel, Lenexa, Kans.) was used in the initial screening...
