Introduction The clinical significance of enterococci is mostly related to its antibiotic
resistance which contributes to colonization and infection, in particular amongst the …

Abstract Background Multi-drug-resistant Enterococci colonizing the intestinal tract of
hospitalized patients are the major source of infection as well as nosocomial spread …

Aims and Objectives: The present work aimed to evaluate the frequency of aminoglycoside-
modifying enzymes encoding genes in the E. faecalis and E. faecium and their antibiotic …

Background: Enterococci are intrinsically resistant/tolerant to various antimicrobial agents
and can also acquire and combine different mechanisms of resistance, including quorum …

Enterococci have been considered as one of the most common causes of nosocomial
infections. The spread of antibiotic resistance has posed a serious challenge to treating the …

Enterococcus faecalis plays a significant role in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), and
combination of penicillin with aminoglycoside is important in therapy of invasive HAIs …

Abstract Objectives: In Iran as well as throughout the world Enterococci have been rated as
the important cause of urinary tract and nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to …

The synergy between gentamicin and vancomycin, teicoplanin, ampicillin and linezolid was
studied by time-kill method. Two clinical vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) and two …

Among Enterococcus spp, only the virulence gene harboring strains of Enterococcus
faecalis and E. faecium are associated with human infections, including urinary tract …

Objective: This study was undertaken to isolate enterococci from various clinical samples,
