“…In recent years, the observation of an increase in vancomycin resistant strains in isolation and the variation in antibiotic susceptibility according to species have led to the requirement for species level identification. Studies about the topic have shown that in urine samples generally E. faecalis isolation rates are higher compared to E. faecium (Yuksel Ergin et al, 2013;Etiz et al, 2014;Yenisehirli et al, 2016). In our study the results were similar with 56% E. faecalis and 37% E. faecium identification rates.…”

“…Among enterococci infections, they are among alternative treatment choices only for urinary tract infections (Gordon et al, 1992). A variety of studies have identified ciprofloxacin resistance from 48% to 87% (Baykan, 2001;Yavuz et al, 2006;Aktepe et al, 2011;Kalayci et al, 2011;Yuksel Ergin et al, 2013;Etiz et al, 2014). In our study, ciprofloxacin resistance was close to the lower limit at 51%.…”

“…(Tunger, 2012). Studies by Karaoglan et al and MBSJHS;5(2), 2019 Aktepe et al did not report resistance for enterococci against tigecycline, while Etiz et al reported 0.3% resistance (Karaoglan et al, 2008;Aktepe et al, 2011;Etiz et al, 2014). In our study, Enterococcus spp.…”

“…Glycopeptides are still known as the most effective antibiotics against enterococci, with increased rates of vancomycin and teicoplanin resistant strains reported (Agus et al, 2006;Yuksel Ergin et al, 2013;Etiz et al, 2014). In this study, vancomycin and teicoplanin resistance was not encountered among E. faecalis and E. faecium isolates.…”

“…Enterococci are known to be more resistant to antimicrobials affecting inhibition of cell wall synthesis compared to other streptococci and the use of penicillin or ampicillin is recommended for susceptibility tests (Murray, 1997). Studies in Turkey have noted that enterococci are increasingly resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics and a variety of studies have reported ampicillin resistance from 16% to 84% (Baykan, 2001;Agus et al, 2006;Aktepe et al, 2011;Kalayci et al, 2011;Yuksel Ergin et al, 2013;Etiz et al, 2014). In our study, rates of 42% were between these two values.…”

Objective: Enterococcus species are among the common causes of nosocomial urinary tract infections mainly, along with other infections and have been observed to have increasing rates of resistance against antimicrobial agents in recent years. The aim of this study is to determine the Enterococcus spp. isolated from urine cultures in our hospital and to determine antibiotic resistance rates. Methods: Enterococcus isolates identification and antibiogram results obtained from urine samples sent to Ordu University Education and Research Hospital Microbiology laboratory from inpatients and outpatients were retrospectively evaluated. The identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests of the isolates were completed on a VITEK 2 Compact (Biomerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) system. Resistance rates against ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, tigecycline, linezolid, teicoplanin and vancomycin were analyzed. Results: Our study identified 346 Enterococcus strains. These strains were defined as 195 Enterococcus faecalis (56%), 127 Enterococcus faecium (37%) and 24 other enterococci (7%). The antimicrobials with highest resistance were ciprofloxacin (51%), ampicillin (42%), nitrofurantoin (14%) and tigecycline (1%), in order, with no resistance encountered for linezolid, teicoplanin and vancomycin. Conclusion: Glycopeptide resistance were not encountered among enterococci isolated from urine cultures in our hospital, with quinolone resistance at the fore. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests are important to select appropriate treatments.

Aims: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the change in antibiotic resistance rates of Enterococcus species isolated from various clinical samples of outpatients and inpatients in our hospital over the years. Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2021, various clinical samples sent to Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Hospital Microbiology Laboratory from outpatients, inpatients and intensive care patients were retrospectively examined. The samples were inoculated on 5% sheep blood agar, chocolate agar and EMB agar media according to their types and incubated at 37°C. The blood cultures were performed by BACTEC 1280 System (Becton Dickinson, MA, USA). Bacterial identification and antimicrobial sensitivity tests were made using conventional methods and automated systems. Results: A total of 417 Enterococcus strains were isolated in our laboratory at four years and included in the study. Of the 417 isolates, 204 (48.9%) were isolated from male patients and 213 (51.1%) from female patients. The mean age of the patients was 57.79±22.9 years (0-96 years). It was determined that 36.9% of the isolates belonged to outpatients, 33.4% to inpatients and 29.7% to intensive care unit patients. Of the 122 enterococci isolates identified as species, 49.2% were typed as Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and 40.2% as Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium). Of the 417 isolates, 60.4% were isolated from urine samples, 24.2% from blood samples, and 8.9% from wound samples. Considering the total antibiotic resistance rates; ampicillin was 34.9%, ciprofloxacin was 46.4%, vancomycin was 8.4%, tigecline was 3.2%, high-level gentamicin was 49.0%. Linezolid and nitrofurantoin resistance were not detected. Ampicillin and vancomycin resistance rates were determined to have a statistically significant increase within four years. Ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin and high-level gentamicin resistance rates were found to be significantly higher in isolates obtained from inpatients and intensive care patients compared to enterococcal isolates obtained from outpatients. Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that antibiotic resistance in enterococcal isolates, which are the causative agents of infection in our hospital, increased over the years. In this way, determining the change in antibiotic resistance rates is beneficial in determining appropriate antibiotic use policies. It is thought that conducting surveillance studies on antibiotic resistance periodically and taking new measures according to changing antibiotic resistance rates will be beneficial in terms of treatment.
