Title: Detection of resistant genes of enterococcus
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To investigate the existing status of antimicrobial resistant genes of enterococci isolated from clinics.METHODS Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to detect 7 kinds of resistance-related genes.RESULTS Among 20 strains of Enterococcus faecalis,the positive rate of tetM gene was 40.0%,ermB 60.0%,aac(6′)/aph(2′) 75.0%,ant(6)-Ⅰ 50.0%,TEM 5.0%,aph(3′)-Ⅲ 50.0%.Among 20 strains of Enterococcus faecium,positive rate of tetM gene was 40.0%,ermB65.0%,aac(6′)/aph(2′) 90.0%,ant(6)-Ⅰ 70.0%,TEM25.0%,aph(3′)-Ⅲ 70.0%.CONCLUSION The carrying rate of resistance-related of enterococci genes isolated from clinics is high.The disinfection and isolation should be noticed.
