| high-level aminoglycoside resistance in enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium causing invasive infection: twelve-year surveillance in the minami ibaraki area. | we examined prevalence of high-level aminoglycoside resistance (hlar) in enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium causing invasive infection in the minami ibaraki area. ten strains of both species each, recovered from the blood or the cerebrospinal fluid between 2003 and 2014, were randomly selected every year. high-level resistance to gentamicin (hlr-gm) and streptomycin (hlr-sm) was detected in 34% (41 of 120 strains) and 18% (21) of e. faecalis and 9% (11) and 39% (48) of e. faecium, re ... | 2016 | 26492859 |
