Fifty-eight vancomycin-resistant enterococcal isolates were obtained from two patients over 9 weeks. Numerous pulsed-field gel electrophoresis fingerprinting types were isolated from each patient. By PCR, all isolates were vanA+. However, many isolates from patient B were found to lack vanA by hybridization. Our results demonstrate the importance of examining multiple isolates, especially from patients who are at high risk of infection.
在9周内从两名患者身上获取了58株耐万古霉素肠球菌分离株。从每名患者身上分离出了多种脉冲场凝胶电泳指纹图谱类型。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR),所有分离株均为vanA阳性。然而,通过杂交发现患者B的许多分离株缺乏vanA。我们的结果表明检查多个分离株的重要性,特别是对于感染风险高的患者。
