Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional study reports resistance patterns in enterococcus species from clinical samples, highlighting critical healthcare concerns.

Key Points

  • E. faecalis is the most prevalent enterococcus species, identified in 93.5% of isolates.
  • Both E. faecalis and E. faecium showed 100% susceptibility to vancomycin, a crucial antibiotic.
  • High resistance was observed against penicillin, ciprofloxacin, and ampicillin in enterococcus isolates.
  • The study underscores the need for antimicrobial stewardship programs to combat multidrug-resistant infections.
