A study was conducted to determine the drug resistance pattern of enterococci isolated from cases of neonatal bacteremia. A total of 41 strains of enterococci were isolated of which 35 (85.4%) wereEnterococcus faecalis and 6 (14.6%) wereEnterococcus faecium. A total of 3 (8.6%) strains ofE. faecalis and 2 (33.3%)E. faecium strains showed high level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR). None of the enterococci tested were vancomycin resistant. Drug resistance was more common amongE. faecium strains. All clinically significant isolates of enterococci should be tested for their antibiotic sensitivity pattern including HLAR, and for treatment, antibiotics are selected based onin vitro antibiotic sensitivity test results.
