High level aminoglycoside resistance and distribution of the resistance genes in Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium from teaching hospital in Malaysia
Background: Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis are among the predominant species causing hospital-acquired infections. Currently, enterococcal infections are treated using combination therapy of an aminoglycoside with cell-wall active agents, which led to high level aminoglycoside resist...
