Heat tolerance of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium.
The heat tolerance of 27 Enterococcus faecium isolates in water was studied. Stationary phase cultures including vancomycin resistant and sensitive clinical and food isolates were exposed to heat at 60 degrees, 65 degrees, 71 degrees, and 80 degrees C for one, three, 10, and 30 minutes and the log10 reductions in bacterial counts were determined. Exposure at 71 degrees and 80 degrees C resulted...
متن کاملColonial variation in vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium.
Vancomycin resistant enterococci are increasingly being isolated from inpatients. This report describes the colonial variation present in most isolates of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium obtained at this hospital. Colonial variants within the same culture were indistinguishable by antimicrobial susceptibility, biochemical reactions, and ribotyping. Failure to appreciate this colonial ...
متن کاملVancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium colonization in children.
Nosocomial vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infections have been described in only small numbers of pediatric patients. In none of these studies were multivariate analyses performed to assess which factors were independent risk factors in these patients. In the present cohort study of patients admitted to our hematology/oncology unit, surveillance cultures revealed a colonization rate of...
متن کاملVanD-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates A902 and BM4538, which were resistant to relatively high levels of vancomycin (128 and 64 microg/ml, respectively) and to low levels of teicoplanin (4 microg/ml), and Enterococcus faecalis clinical isolates BM4539 and BM4540, which were resistant to moderate levels of vancomycin (16 microg/ml) and susceptible to teicoplanin (0.25 microg/ml), were studied. ...
متن کاملcharacterization of vancomycin resistant enterococcus faecium
background: to determine the species distribution, updated drug susceptibility patterns and genes conferring resistance in clinical vancomycin resistant enterococcal (vre) isolates. methods: clinical enterococcal isolates collected during 7 months, from september 2005 to april 2006 from hospitalized patients and outpatients were studied. twenty five vre were isolated from 450 enterococci sam...
