Enterococci with Acquired Vancomycin Resistance in Pigs and Chickens of Different Age Groups

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: Results of isolation of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci from fecal samples of pigs and chickens were found to differ strongly depending upon the type and age of animals and isolation technique (direct selective plate or broth enrichment). Isolations were frequent in broiler chickens and in sows but rare in layer chickens.
