Comparison of antibiotic resistance and virulence in vancomycin-susceptible and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains

Comparison of antibiotic resistance and virulence in vancomycin-susceptible and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains

Aim. Today, infections caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) are a major problem in the healthcare system. The aim of this study was to compare the antibiotic resistance and virulence traits between vancomycin-susceptible E. faecium (VSE) and VRE clinical isolates. Material and M...
