Genotypic characterisation of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates from haemato-oncological patients at Olomouc University Hospital, Czech Republic

Original language description

This study described the firs molecular characterisation of clinical isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococcci (VRE) in the Czech Republic. Of 2647 patients isolates of Enterococcus sp. from 1997-2002, 121 (4,6%), were identified as VRE. The most common isolates were VanA + Enterococcus faecium (78%) and VanB+ Enterococcus faecalis (10%). In addition, five VanA+ faecium isolates were obtained from environmental and staff sampling. Macrorestriction analysis of Smal restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed for 54 VanA+ E. faecium clinical isolates and the five vanA+ E. faecium environmental´isolates. Thirty-two unique restriction endonuclease patterns were identified, including two predominant clonal types represented by five of more isolates. Two environmental VanA+ E. faecium isolates were closely related to two patient isolates, which had an identical Smal macrorestriction pattern. The results indicated potential survival of strains in the hospital environments and p
