This study is revealing the possible dissemination of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) from humans into the wildlife. We studied silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) in Australia as potential carriers and reservoirs of VRE with acquired vancomycin resistance. In New South Wales (Australia), we have found two multi-resistant isolates belonging to Enterococcus faecium (sequence type 341, vanB genotype) and Enterococcus dispar (vanA genotype). Based on our knowledge, this is the first report of VRE in Australian wildlife.
这项研究揭示了耐万古霉素肠球菌（VRE）可能从人类传播到野生动物体内。我们对澳大利亚的银鸥（Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae）进行了研究，它们可能是获得性耐万古霉素的VRE携带者和储存宿主。在澳大利亚新南威尔士州，我们发现了两株多重耐药菌株，分别属于粪肠球菌（序列型341，vanB基因型）和殊异肠球菌（vanA基因型）。据我们所知，这是澳大利亚野生动物中VRE的首次报道。
