The rapid emergence of high level gentamicin resistance in enterococci.

K R Forward1, J K Kennedy, P A Degagne, K R Bartlett, G K Harding.   

Abstract

The proportion of enterococci isolated from blood and urine cultures that were highly resistant to gentamicin and streptomycin were determined. No blood or urine isolates highly resistant to gentamicin were seen in 1983, whereas by 1986-87 25% of blood and 17% of urine isolates were highly resistant. The rapid emergence of gentamicin resistance has serious implications for patients with life threatening enterococcal disease.
