Abstract

Introduction: VANCOMYCIN RESISTANCE in ENTEROCOCCI has become of great concern in public health, since the increase of prevalence of these organisms inside and outside the health care settings including urban sewage treatment plants have been documented. Materials & Methods: In this study, we isolated vancomycin resistant ENTEROCOCCI strains from WASTEWATERs. After identification and susceptibility testing of the isolates, PCR assays were used for detection of vanA, vanB, vanC1 and vanC2/3 resistant genes. Results: As a result, 53 VRE strains were isolated and identified as vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium. Antimicrobial susceptibility revealed that all the isolates were multidrug resistant and 98% of them had high level of VANCOMYCIN RESISTANCE. Molecular analyses revealed that all proved the presence of vanA gene, while vanB was detected only in 15%. But non of them had vanC1 and vanC2/3.Conclusion: Due to the possibility of resistance prevalence of van genes, more care should be taken to control the sewage systems and elimination of resistant organisms especially multi drug resistant VRE and prevent the transmission of their resistant genes to other ENTEROCOCCI.
