Characterization of high level ampicillin- and aminoglycoside-resistant enterococci isolated from non-hospital sources.

CONCLUSION: This is the first report on the characterization of high level ampicillin- and aminoglycoside-resistant Enterococcus faecium among animals and vegetables in Nigeria. The results show that non-hospital sources can constitute a reservoir for potential dissemination of these strains and genes to humans via the food chain or by direct contact.
