Nonenterococcal vanB carriage was similarly high in hemodialysis patients (45%) and community adults (63%; P = 0.066) and significantly more common among community adults than children (27%; P = 0.001). | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10496 | DOI: | 10.1128/AAC.00531-07 | ORCID: | Journal: | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18180361 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Aged Australia.epidemiology Bacteria, Anaerobic.genetics.isolation & purification Bacterial Proteins.genetics Carrier State.epidemiology.microbiology Child, Preschool DNA, Bacterial.analysis.isolation & purification Feces.microbiology Gram-Positive Bacteria.genetics.isolation & purification Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections.epidemiology.microbiology Humans Middle Aged Polymerase Chain Reaction.methods Renal Dialysis Vancomycin Resistance.genetics |
