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.
