Isolation of a vanA Positive Enterococcus faecium from Commercial Broiler Farms in Turkey

Abstract

WOS: 000273756600022In this study, the vanA gene indicating Vancomisin Resistance Enterococcus (VRE) was ascertained from swab samples (n=400) collected from commercial broiler farms. VRE was isolated only from a single sample and identified as Enterococcus faecium by the biochemical tests. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of vancomycin was determined as >256 mu g/ml by E-test. Furthermore, the vanA gene was detected by PCR
