    The Investigation Of Fecal Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus Colonization In Hospital Personnel
    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2007) Yıldırım, Mustafa; Sencan, İrfan; Öksüz, Sükrü
    In this study, the prevalence of fecal vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) colonization was investigated in hospital personnel in Duzce Medical Faculty. Sixty two hospital personnel and 37 volunteer whom enterococcus species had isolated from stool samples were included in the study. The classical microbiological methods and API 20 Strep was used for the identification of enterococcus species from stool samples. Susceptibility was determined by the disk diffusion method. The beta lactamase activitywas tested with nitrocephin disk. According to our results 56 (56.6%) of the isolated enterococcus species was identified as E.faecium, 24 (24.2) % as E.gallinarum, 13 (13.1%) as E.faecalis, 5 (%5.1) as E.durans, and 1 (%1.0) E.casseliflavus. Resistance to ampicillin was found in 12.9% of samples. High-level resistance to gentamicin was found in 9.9% of samples. 19.8% of samples were found to be highly resistant to streptomycin. High-level resistance to streptomycin was higher in hospital personnel than control group (x2:8.149, p=0.002). No vancomycin resistance was noted. It was found that none of the enterococci had beta-lactamase enzyme activity. Our results demonstrated that there is no fecal carriage of VRE in hospital personnel. However we suggest that the screening tests should be done periodically to reveal resistant strains early
