Failure of VITEK2 to reliably detect <i>vanB</i> - mediated vancomycin resistance in <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>

2020-11-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> The increasing prevalence of vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) necessitates a reliable detection of VRE especially for low level resistance mediated by vanB in Enterococcus faecium . In this prospective study we analyzed if vanB mediated vancomycin resistance can be reliably detected by Vitek2. <h4>Methods</h4> 1344 enterococcal isolates from routine clinical specimens were tested by...
