Abstract

Vancomycine resistant enterococcus (VRE) strains, especially important in United States of America are not seen frequently in our country. However VRE rate seens to be increased in our country according to recent studies. In this article two cases of VRE infection in our hospital are presented.

Özet

Özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD)\\\'nde sorun yaratan vankomisine dirençli enterokok (VRE) suşları ülkemizde sık görülmemektedir. Bununla birlikte, son yıllardaki yayınlardan, ülkemizde de VRE oranının arttığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bu yazıda, hastanemizde VRE infeksiyonu tespit edilen 2 olgu bildirilmektedir.
