THE PROBLEMS OF THERAPY OF nosocomial enterococcal infection (literature review)
https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2015-12-4-1
Abstract
The microorganisms Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are a common cause of nosocomial infections, particularly in intensive care units. The problem of treatment for such infections lies in antimicrobial resistance. The present article deals with the problems of epidemiology and rational antimicrobial therapy of enterococcal infections.
