The presence of Enterococcus-associated vancomycin resistance genes vanA, vanB, vanD, vanE, and vanG in rectal swabs was investigated in two hospitals using PCR. All vanA genes detected were associated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), whereas VRE-associated vanB genes were detected in only one hospital (4.7%). However, in both hospitals, high prevalences of vanB (6.2 and 2.3%), vanD (43.8 and 26.7%), and vanG (10.5 and 6.9%) genes not associated with enterococci were found.
使用聚合酶链反应(PCR)在两家医院对直肠拭子中与肠球菌相关的万古霉素耐药基因vanA、vanB、vanD、vanE和vanG的存在情况进行了调查。所有检测到的vanA基因均与耐万古霉素肠球菌(VRE)相关,而仅在一家医院检测到与VRE相关的vanB基因(4.7%)。然而,在两家医院中,均发现了高比例的与肠球菌无关的vanB基因(6.2%和2.3%)、vanD基因(43.8%和26.7%)和vanG基因(10.5%和6.9%)。
