High level of gentamicin resistance (HLGR) among enterococcus strains isolated from clinical specimens
Summary: Background: Enterococci are pathogens that can cause nosocomial infections and acquire resistance properties via several molecular mechanisms. The aac (6′)Ie-aph(2″)Ia gene plays a significant role in the emergence of high-level gentamicin-resistant (HLGR) strains. The screening of resista...
