One hundred strains of Enterococci obtained from various clinical specimens over a period of six months were speciated of which 56 were E. faecalis and 44 were E. faecium. Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern showed 90% of them were resistant to penicillin and 20% of them were resistant to vancomycin. Comparative evaluation of Beta-lactamase production by iodometric method and cloverleaf method showed that the latter was cost effective and easy to perform for routine use.
在六个月的时间里,从各种临床标本中获取了100株肠球菌并进行了菌种鉴定,其中56株为粪肠球菌,44株为屎肠球菌。抗菌药敏模式显示,其中90%对青霉素耐药,20%对万古霉素耐药。通过碘量法和三叶草法对β-内酰胺酶产生情况进行的比较评估表明,后者具有成本效益且易于常规操作。
