摘要：
We investigated the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) isolated from wastewater (n = 593) and clinical (n = 450) samples, and the genetic linkage between the isolates was compared. Out of the total samples, 38 Enterococcusfaecium (3.6%) from sewage (n = 19) and clinical (n = 19) isolates were found to be highly resistant to vancomycin. The majority of the VRE isolates from the two sources showed distinct phenotyping and genotyping patterns. At the same time, one common pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern was found among the VRE obtained from wastewater and human clinical isolates, suggestive of an epidemiological link.
