Figure 14: Trend of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and
Enterococcus faecalis from all clinical samples from 2017 until 2021.
A steady drop in resistance levels was demonstrated starting from 2017 for
E. faecium. However, steady low resistance level is shown among E. faecalis
isolates starting from 2017 to 2021 (Figure 14).
