  • Title: [Vancomycin resistance among strains of Enterococcus faecium].
    Author: Sacha P, Wieczorek P, Jakoniuk P.
    Journal: Przegl Lek; 2008; 65(5):229-32. PubMed ID: 18853647.
    Abstract:
    A total of 48 clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium were tested for their susceptibility to glycopeptide antibiotics (vancomycin and teicoplanin). We observed a low-level of resistance to vancomycin (phenotype Van B) for 4.2% isolates. MICs for these strains were MIC(vancomycin) = 8 mg/L and MIC(teicoplanin) = 0,75 mg/L. Among all of the tested strains, 66.7% were resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics (phenotype HLAR).
