چکیده

in this study, 72 enterococcus faecalis isolates originating from humans (n=39), dogs (n=26) and cats (n=7) were investigated for some virulence factors, some virulence genes, antibiotic resistance phenotypes, randomly amplified polymorphic dna-polymerase chain reaction (rapd-pcr) patterns and biofilm production. of the isolates, 31 (43.1%) were positive for gelatinase, 11 (15.3%) for aggregation substance and cytolysine, 38 (52.8%) for gele and 34 (47.2%) for asa1 genes. all isolates were found to be negative for hyl, esp and cyla genes. all isolates were found to be resistant to nalidixic acid and kanamycin. on the other hand, all isolates were cited for susceptible to amoxicillin. vancomycin resistance genes (vana, vanb, vanc1/c2 or vand) have not been detected in any of the phenotypically vancomycin resistant isolates. isolates from humans, dogs and cats were grouped into 8, 2 and 4 antibiotypes depending upon susceptibilities to 12 different antibiotics. in all human, dog and cat isolates, 9, 12 and 2 genotypes were determined by rapd-pcr, respectively. nine (34.6%) of the dog isolates were found to be positive for biofilm production. this study showed that multiple antibiotic resistance among human isolates is more frequent than in dog and cat isolates.

Antibiogram analysis and tracking of the virulence-related genes in Enterococcus faecalis isolates

Background and Aim: Enterococcus species are opportunistic pathogens and their pathogenicity seems to be related to the presence of a number of pathogenicity genes. Since donkey’s milk is a new non-allergenic source of nutrition, this study was performed to assess the antibiogram and detection of pathogenicity genes in some Enterococcus faecalis isolates from donkey’s milk. Materials and Method...

Antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis from diseased farm animals: pigs, cattle and poultry.

Eighty enterococcal isolates (E. faecium, n = 38, E. faecalis, n = 42) from diseased farm animals (swine, cattle, poultry) in Lithuania have been studied for the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and for resistance and virulence genetic determinants. 86% of E. faecium and 71% of E. faecalis isolates were multidrug resistant (resistant to three or more unrelated antibiotics). Resistance to ami...

Antibiotics and heavy metals resistance patterns of Enterococcus faecalis and faecium bacteria isolated from the human and the livestock sources

Background: Enterococci have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infections and within this group, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium cause the majority of human and livestock enterococcal infections. In this article, we tried to determine antibiotics and metals resistance patterns of E. faecalis and E. faecium strains. Methods: One hundred sixty different strains of E. faecalis...

Molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance patterns of Enterococcus faecalis isolates from hospitals in Tehran.

Enterococcus faecalis is one of the most important causative agents of nosocomial infections. Control and prevention of these infections require appropriate epidemiological knowledge. This study investigated the correlation between molecular characteristics and drug resistance of E. faecalis isolates from local hospitals. A total of 125 isolates of Enterococcus faecalis from two hospitals in Te...
