UNASSIGNED: Enterococci are known as a cause of @entity580 and this aptitude is intensified by the growth of antibiotic resistance. In the present study, @entity6375 isolates from healthy volunteers were considered to determine the antibiotic resistance profiles and genetic correlation. A total 91 normal flora isolates of enterococci were included in this study. Identification of @entity6375 genus and species were done by biochemical and PCR methods, respectively. Sensitivity for 10 antibiotics was determined and genetic relatedness of all isolates was assessed using Repetitive Element Palindromic PCR (REP-PCR) followed by Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) on the representative patterns. None of the isolates were resistant to @entity11248 , @entity2176 , @entity34436 , @entity5136 , @entity2755 , @entity869 and high-level @entity801 . On the other hand, the resistance rate was detected in 30.7%, 23%, and 3.29% of isolates for @entity2929 , @entity803 and @entity2177 , respectively. The results of PFGE showed 19 (61.5% of our isolates) common types (CT) and 35 (38.5%) single types (ST) amongst the isolates. This is the first study to describe antibiotic resistance pattern and genetic relationship among normal flora enterococci in Iran. This study showed no prevalence of @entity2176 Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and high degrees of diversity among normal flora isolates by genotyping using PFGE.
