Distribution rates and antibiotic resistance pattern of Enterococcus spp. isolated from clinical specimens of hospitals in Hamedan

Abstract

Background and purpose: Multi-resistant enterococci are important nosocomial pathogens that are shown to have high prevalence in recent years. Knowledge of antimicrobial resistance pattern is essential to formulate treatment guidelines for infections caused by enterococci. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance among enterococci isolated from Hamedan hospitals.
