Abstract:To evaluate in vitro activity of linezolid and other antimicrobial agents against Enterococci spp. isolated from clinic.MethodsIdentification and antimicrobial sensitivity test of Enterococci spp. was carried out by Microscan WalkAway40 system.ResultsNo linezolidresistant strain was detected in 117 Enterococci spp. strains. Resistant rate of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis against vancomycin was 4.41% and 5.71% respectively, the resistant rates to penicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, high concentration gentamycin, levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were all above 70%.ConclusionLinezolid has high activity against Enterococci spp., especially the control of infections caused by multidrugresistant isolates.
