Total enterococci and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were enumerated in samples of effluent (n = 50) and water (n = 167) from a number of sources. VRE were detected in the outflow of a wastewater treatment plant and in a single rural drinking water supply, suggesting potential for transmission to humans through environmental contamination.
从多个来源采集的污水(n=50)和水样(n=167)中对总肠球菌和万古霉素耐药肠球菌(VRE)进行了计数。在一家废水处理厂的尾水和一个农村饮用水供应中均检测到了 VRE,表明其可能通过环境污染传播给人类。
