For empiric therapy against bacterial infections, it is most important to select antibiotics on the basis of statistical analyses of drugresistance of the bacteria isolated in a hospital or a region. In this study, we examined the drugresistance of Enterococcus species isolated at Shinshu University Hospital from January 2001 to June 2005. E. faecalis and E. faecium comprised 80.5% of the total number of Enterococci, and there was no distinct trend for resistance to increase in each Enterococcus species. More than half of E. faecium were resistant to PCG and ABPC, while most of E. faecalis were susceptible to them. Enterococci with high-level resistance to vancomycin had not been isolated in the hospital. Vancomycin may be useful in the treatment of patients severely infected with Enterococci.
