Drug resistance in enterococci isolated from hospitalized patients is reported. Out of 421 strains tested, 45 (10.7%) showed high level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR). At the species level, 8.2 per cent of Enterococcus faecalis and 33.3 per cent of E. faecium were HLAR. While all the strains of E. faecalis were sensitive to vancomycin, one strain of E. faecium was vancomycin resistant.
据报道,从住院患者中分离出的肠球菌存在耐药性。在检测的421株菌株中,45株(10.7%)表现出高水平氨基糖苷类耐药(HLAR)。在种水平上,粪肠球菌的8.2%和屎肠球菌的33.3%为HLAR。虽然所有粪肠球菌菌株对万古霉素敏感,但有一株屎肠球菌对万古霉素耐药。
