Özet
Background/aim: Enterococci play an important role in nosocomial infections. Therefore, this study investigates multidrug resistance (MDR) 1 gene areas in the pathogenicity of enterococci and virulence genes in both vancomycin-sensitive enterococci (VSE) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) strains.
