Comparison of biochemical and genotypic speciation methods for vancomycin-resistant enterococci isolated from urban wastewater treatment plants
Abstract
Enterococci species in wastewater including Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus casseliflavus and Enterococcus gallinarum isolates (n = 308) with low or high level vancomycin resistance were determined and compared using a phenotypic method (RapID™ STR system), 16S rRNA sequencing, and multi-locus (atpA, groESL, and pheS) sequence analysis (MLSA). Error rates for the RapID™ STR system were E. faecalis (15.9%), E. faecium …
