BACKGROUNDEnterococci constitute a significant proportion of the normal flora of the oropharynx, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. The incidence of Enterococcal infections is on the rise over the past few years. Enterococci are resistant to a number of drugs including β-lactamase glycopeptides and aminoglycosides limiting the options for treatment. Aims and Objectives-The aim of the study is to speciate the enterococci isolated from clinical specimens and to determine the prevalence of High Level Gentamycin and Vancomycin resistance among the isolates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
