The emergence of glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium (GREF) in a Greek intensive care unit was studied by amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis and esp gene detection. Three GREF clones harboring the esp gene were recovered from 17 out of 21 patients, indicating the dissemination of genetically homogenous and virulent strains of GREF.
通过扩增片段长度多态性分析和esp基因检测,对希腊一家重症监护病房中耐糖肽粪肠球菌(GREF)的出现情况进行了研究。从21名患者中的17名患者身上分离出了三个携带esp基因的GREF克隆,这表明基因同源且具有毒性的GREF菌株正在传播。
