... majority of the pus samples demonstrated HLGR (41.5%) with blood and urine samples showing 12% of this resistance pattern. HLSR was as well more frequent in pus samples (12%) with 10% similar resistance morphology shown by urine samples (Table 3), while 70% of isolates were sensitive (zone diameter Table 4). HLGR-High level gentamicin resistance, HLSR-High level streptomycin resistance When VRE was compared to VSE, the rate of HLSR was detected to be 4.64% in VRE, while it was 32.55% in VSE; the rate of HLGR was noted to be 11.62% in VRE, and it was 41.87% in VSE. ...Citations
... are intrinsically resistant to several antimicrobials, such as cephalosporins and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and exhibit low-level resistance to aminoglycosides and β-lactams. Clinical and animal source Enterococcus isolates can also easily acquire and transmit resistant genes and exhibit multi-drug resistance, high level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR), vancomycin resistance and beta lactamase producing phenotype (11)(12)(13)(14). ...
... This result suggests other resistance mechanisms including the role of the other resistance genes or mechanisms for this phenotype. Resistance to gentamycin is a potent indicator of resistance to other aminoglycosides but not for streptomycin (14). We detected high frequency of streptomycin resistance and high frequency of ant (6)-Ia, that code for resistance to streptomycin (70.83%) in test isolates. ...
