Abstract

A recent study in Brazil has identified a strain of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) in companion animals, specifically a Rottweiler dog. VREfm is a medically significant pathogen that is typically associated with infections in humans. The strain, known as ICBPETVRE, exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics but remained susceptible to certain drugs. The study suggests that there may be a potential for transmission of VREfm between humans and companion animals, highlighting the need for increased awareness and screening in veterinary practice.

Abstract

The article presents a study which examined propagation of vancomycin A-containing Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis strains in hospital patients with multilocus sequence typing (MLST) lineages. Several testst are performed including water sample collection and analysis, microdilution technique and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The vancomycin-resistance in both strains are measured.
