    Abstract

    Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) is an important emerging pathogen responsible for causing urinary tract infection (UTI). Hence precise and complete knowledge of its prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profile is necessary in particular area for their adequate treatment. Material and Methods: This study was carried out in bacteriology section, Department of Microbiology of Teerthanker Mahaveer hospital, Moradabad from July 2021 to June 2022 by performing urine sample collection, culture and different biochemical tests. Results: Out of 898 samples, there were 252 gram positive cocci, 430 gram negative bacilli, 37 yeast and 179 samples showed no growth. 252 gram positive cocci were further processed and 72 isolates of enterococci were isolated. Maximum numbers of enterococci were obtained from patients between 31-40 years. Conclusion: Patient should be empirically treated for Enterococcal diseases according to the local patterns of antibiotic resistance. VRE are generally treated with fosfomycin, nitrofurantoin or linezolid.
