| outcome of a screening program for vancomycin-resistant enterococci in a hospital in victoria. | to screen for faecal colonisation with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) among potentially at-risk patients. | 1999 | 10474604 |
| fecal colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci in australia. | to assess the rate of fecal vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) colon ization in austalia, we examined specimens from 1,085 healthy volunteers. vre was cultured from 2(0.2%) of 1,085 specimens; both were vanb enter ococcus faecium, identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, but with a pattern rare in melbourne hospitals. | 2000 | 11202974 |
| the prevalence of fecal colonization with vre among residents of long-term-care facilities in melbourne, australia. | a point-prevalence survey performed among residents of eight nursing homes in melbourne, australia, found a rate of fecal vre colonization of 3.1% (9/292; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-5.1), all vanb enterococcusfaecium. this is a higher rate than in the general community (3.1% vs 0.2%). many residents (16%) had been inpatients in acute-care hospitals in the previous 3 months. | 2001 | 11732788 |
| prevalence, seasonality, and growth of enterococci in raw and pasteurized milk in victoria, australia. | this study investigated the prevalence, seasonality, and species variety of enterococci present in raw milk factory silos and pasteurized milk in 3 dairying regions in victoria, australia, over a 1-yr period. additionally, the growth ability of thermoduric enterococci isolated in this study (enterococcus faecalis, e. faecium, e. hirae, and e. durans) was determined in milk at temperatures likely to occur during storage, transport, and distribution, and before domestic consumption (4 and 7°c). en ... | 2015 | 26476940 |
| australian group on antimicrobial resistance enterococcus surveillance programme annual report, 2010. | in 2010, 15 institutions around australia conducted a period prevalence study of key resistances in isolates of enterococcus species associated with a range of clinical disease amongst in- and outpatients. each institution collected up to 100 consecutive isolates and tested these for susceptibility to commonly used antimicrobials using standardised methods. vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium and enterococcus faecalis were characterised by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. multilocus seque ... | 2013 | 24890955 |
