Abstract
|
|
|
The species identities and antimicrobial susceptibility of Enterococcus isolated during November 1991 to April 1992 at some medical college hospital in Seoul were determined. The results obtained were as follows:
1. Among the 204 isolates 62.8 % (128 strains) were isolated from urine, 17.6 % (36 strains) wound infection, 6.8 % (14 strains) bile and 3.9 % (8 strains) genital tract.
2. Enterococcus species were isolated 66.2 % (135 strains) of E. faecalis, 22.0 % (45 strains) of E. faecium and 2.5 % (5 strains) of E. durans, but 9.3 % (19 strains) were unidentified species.
3. 204 strains of Enterococcus were all susceptible for vancomycin, also E faecalis and unidentified Enterococcus were moderately susceptible more than 80 % to cephalothin, penicillin G and ampicillin, while E. faecium were resistant pattern to amplicillin.
4. Gentamicin and oxacillin were resistant more than 90 % among Enterococcus species.
