  5. 4. Vancomycin resistant enterococci in Swedish broilers : emergence, epidemiology and elimination

    Författare :Oskar Nilsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Vancomycin resistance enterococci (VRE) are an important cause of nosocomial infections. Presence of VRE in farm animals constitute a reservoir of resistance that can spread to humans via the food-chain and is due to extensive use of the growth promoter avoparcin conferring cross-resistance to vancomycin.
