Nosocomial infection with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) has become a significant problem. Effective institution of infection control measures depends on rapid identification of carriage of the organism, especially in asymptomatic individuals. We compared two selective media for use in screening for the presence of VRE and found that an agar medium containing bile esculin azide supplemented with 8 mu g/ml of vancomycin was a useful and cost-effective means for primary screening for asymptomatic gastrointestinal carriage of VRE.
耐万古霉素肠球菌（VRE）的医院感染已成为一个重大问题。有效的感染控制措施的实施取决于对该病原体携带情况的快速识别，尤其是在无症状个体中。我们比较了两种用于筛查VRE的选择性培养基，发现一种含有补充了8μg/ml万古霉素的胆汁七叶苷叠氮化物的琼脂培养基，是对无症状胃肠道VRE携带进行初步筛查的一种有用且经济高效的方法。
