| [group d streptococci and enterococci: identification, sensitivity to antibiotics and a study of the high level resistance to aminosides (charles nicolle hospital in tunis)]. | 197 strains of enterococcus and group d streptococcus were isolated from human material at charles nicolle hospital (tunis) and identified by biochemical tests: 174, enterococcus faecalis, 6 enterococcus faecium, 2 enterococcus durans and 15 streptococcus bovis. the sensitivity to antibiotics was studied: all enterococcus faecium were resistant at least to one antibiotic, 15% of enterococcus faecalis were sensitive for all antibiotics tested the other species were frequently sensitive. high leve ... | 1991 | 1910140 |
| [characteristics of enterococcus strains isolated from neutropenic patients at the national bone-marrow transplantation center of tunis]. | the frequency of digestive colonization of neutropenic patients by enterococci during the phase of pre-transplant and post-transplant of bone marrow is important indeed as 441 enterococcus spp strains have been isolated from stool-cultures and other specimens whithin a period of 35 months in 80 patients. a quantitative stool culture was done on appropriate media. simple bile-esculine agar (be) and bile esculine-agar additionned with 6 mg/l of vancomycine (bev) were used for detecting enterococci ... | 2004 | 15255347 |
| detection of virulence factors in high-level gentamicin-resistant enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium isolates from a tunisian hospital. | phenotypic and genotypic determination of virulence factors were carried out in 46 high-level gentamicin-resistant (hlgr) clinical enterococcus faecalis (n=34) and enterococcus faecium (n=12) isolates recovered from different patients in la rabta hospital in tunis, tunisia, between 2000 and 2003 (all these isolates harboured the aac(6')-aph(2") gene). the genes encoding virulence factors (agg, gele, ace, cyllls, esp, cpd, and fsrb) were analysed by pcr and sequencing. the production of gelatinas ... | 2007 | 17538646 |
