The Correlation between Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents and Harboring Virulence Factors among Enterococcus Strains Isolated from Clinical Samples
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives: In Iran as well as throughout the world Enterococci have been rated as the important cause of urinary tract and nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between high antimicrobial resistance activity and harboring the virulence factors among clinical Enterococcus isolates. Materials and Methods: Clinical strains were isolated from hospitalized patients. Prevalence of different virulence genes was evaluated by PCR method and the relation between resistance to antibiotics and harboring virulence genes was evaluated by statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that E. faecalis (60%) is more prevalent than E. faecium (26%) and harboring more virulence factors. The highest resistance was related to gentamicin in both E. faecalis and E. faecium isolates with the rate of 88.7% and 93.5% respectively. Harboring esp, ace and cylA are significantly related to resistance to different antibiotics. Conclusion: The antimicrobial resistance and virulence pattern of Enterococcus must be constantly monitored in order to choose the best antimicrobial treat and prevent nosocomial infections.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
