There is no uniformly accepted method for detecting colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The sensitivities of five culture methods were determined for patients known to harbor VRE. Of 189 inpatients, 101 were found to harbor VRE by at least one method. Three methods detected fewer than half of the cultures. Campylobacter agar identified 70% of patients. Enterococcosel broth (containing vancomycin and aztreonam) identified 88% and may be preferred over other media for routine surveillance.
目前尚无检测耐万古霉素肠球菌(VRE)定植的统一公认方法。针对已知携带VRE的患者,测定了五种培养方法的敏感性。在189名住院患者中,至少有一种方法检测出101名患者携带VRE。三种方法检测出的培养物不到一半。弯曲杆菌琼脂培养基鉴定出70%的患者。肠球菌肉汤(含万古霉素和氨曲南)鉴定出88%的患者,在常规监测中可能比其他培养基更具优势。
