FILSNER, P. H. N. L. Isolation and characterization of Enterococcus faecalis resistant to vancomicyn or high concentrations of aminoglycosides from pigs in Brazil. [Isolamento e caracterização de Enterococcus faecallis resistentes a vancomicina ou a altas concentrações de aminoglicosídeos provenientes de suínos no Brasil]. 2014. 40 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia. Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2013. Causative agents of urinary tract infections, endocarditis, meningitis and septicemia members of the genus Enterococcus gained great epidemiological importance in the last years, due to resistance, both intrinsic and acquired a wide range of antibiotics. Among the thirty-six species currently described two receive greater emphasis, E. faecalis and E. faecium due to the high frequency of multidrug resistance to antimicrobial agents and their greater involvement in cases of human infections. Several studies have associated the use of growth promoters in production animals to increase the frequency of multidrug resistance in various species of Enterococci. On the exposed, in the present study, 245 strains of E. faecalis isolated from 171 commercial pigs were evaluated for the antimicrobial resistance profile by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration and for the genotypic profile by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The highest resistance rates were observed against tylosin (98.7 %) and lincomycin (98.7 %), followed by tetracycline (97.1 %), erythromycin (96.7%), streptomycin (96.3%), a combination quinupristin dalfopristin (95.5 %), kanamycin (93.8 %), gentamicin (85.3 %), ciprofloxacin (76.7 %) and chloramphenicol (71.8%). Strains resistant to vancomycin were not found, and the rate of resistance to daptomycin (0.4 %), nitrofurantoin (1.2%) and tigecycline (1.6%) was low. By pulsed field gel electrophoresis the strains were grouped into 109 pulsotypes, with no groups directly related to the resistance profile. The strains were grouped into higher frequency, according to the animal and farm of origin. In Brazil, the use of avoparcin in swine production was not very intensive, which probably contribute to the low selection of vancomycin-resistant strains, however, resistance to high levels of gentamicin and streptomycin is alarming, and because of the importance of these antimicrobials in treatment of human infections caused by Enterococcus, these resistance levels should be monitored in isolates of animal and environmental origin.
