minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by the broth microdilution method in relation to 12 agents with the following ranges tested: vancomycin (0.25–32 µg/mL), penicillin (0.12–64 µg/mL), ciprofloxacin (0.25–128 µg/mL), tetracycline (0

procedure, precluding any causality analysis. Furthermore, since only prophylactic treatment with vancomycin was scheduled for patients with preoperative detection of MRSA colonization, antibiotic susceptibility testing was not be performed on MRSA strains

Enterococci, a complex group of facultative pathogens have become increasingly isolated in various hospital settings. They are considerable frequently cultured from traumatic and surgical wounds. We investigated 57 strains of the species E. faecalis, E. faecium and E. casseliflavus isolated from infected wounds. Their ability to produce virulence factors and their sensitivity to antibiotics were evaluated using phenotypic and genotyping methods. In the phenotype studies, significant portion of the isolates produced biofilm (66.7%) and gelatinase (36.8%). Nearly 30% of the strains expressed hemolytic properties. Only a few produced DNAse (15.8%) and lipase (7.0%). The genes esp, gelE, cylA, cylB, cylM and agg were detected in most of the isolates (38.6–87.7%). All the isolated enterococci were susceptible to vancomycin and were characterized by their low resistance to antibiotics, except aminoglycosides (HLR).
