肠球菌感染的治疗长期以来被认为是一个重要的临床挑战,特别是在感染性心内膜炎(IE)的情况下。此外,对传统抗肠球菌抗生素(如氨苄青霉素、万古霉素和氨基糖苷类(高水平耐药))表现出多重耐药性(MDR)的分离株患病率不断增加,给世界各地的医院带来了巨大的治疗困境。与大多数粪肠球菌分离株引起的 IE 仍然对氨苄西林和万古霉素敏感不同,医院相关的多重耐药粪肠球菌遗传分支的出现和传播明显限制了治疗选择。 IE MDR 肠球菌性心内膜炎的最佳治疗方法尚不清楚,并且缺乏针对这些微生物的具有杀菌活性的抗生素引起了严重关注。尽管我们似乎正在赢得对抗粪肠球菌的战争,但针对多重耐药粪肠球菌分离株的战斗仍在继续。
Treatment of enterococcal infections has long been recognized as an important clinical challenge, particularly in the setting of infective endocarditis (IE). Furthermore, the increase prevalence of isolates exhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR) to traditional anti-enterococcal antibiotics such as ampicillin, vancomycin and aminoglycosides (high-level resistance) poses immense therapeutic dilemmas in hospitals around the world. Unlike IE caused by most isolates of Enterococcus faecalis, which still retain susceptibility to ampicillin and vancomycin, the emergence and dissemination of a hospital-associated genetic clade of multidrug resistant Enterococcus faecium, markedly limits the therapeutic options. The best treatment of IE MDR enterococcal endocarditis is unknown and the paucity of antibiotics with bactericidal activity against these organisms is a cause of serious concern. Although it appears that we are winning the war against E. faecalis, the battle rages on against isolates of multidrug-resistant E. faecium.
