OBJECTIVE To study the characteristics of clinical distribution and drug resistance in patients with vancomycin-resistant Enterococci（VRE），and to provide reference for clinical prevention and control of infection. METHODS From May 1，2017 to May 1，2020，a total of 290 patients with Enterococci cultured from the samples submitted by inpatient department of our hospital were included. They were divided into VRE group （24 cases）and vancomycin-sensitive Enterococci （VSE）group（266 cases）according to the results of sensitivity tests. The basic information of patients （gender，age，submitting department，etc.）， basic diseases （hypertension，diabetes，chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ，etc.）， clinical events （catheterization，endotracheal intubation ，deep venous catheterization ，etc.），use of antibiotics （utilization and utilization time of antibiotics before and after detection ），clinical manifestations （abnormal inflammatory indicators ，clinical symptoms ，etc.）， clinical outcomes （length of stay ，improvement，etc.），drug sensitivity spectrum were all collected. Clinical distribution and drug resistance were compared and analyzed between 2 groups. RESULTS There were significant differences in the type of Enterococci， mixed infection strains and clinical manifestations between 2 groups（P＜0.05）. In VRE group ，two natural drug-resistant bacteria were detected in 66.7％ and 20.8％ of the patients ，i.e. Enterococcus gallinarum and E. casseliflavus . E. faecium was only sensitive to linezolid ，teicoplanin and tegacyclin （the drug resistance rate was 0），and was resistant to other antibiotics （the drug resistance rate was 100％）；E. faecalis was not detected. E. faecium and E. faecalis were detected in 51.9％ and 44.7％ of patients in VSE group. The resistance rates of E. faecium to other antibiotics were more than 55％ except linezolid ，teicoplanin and tegacyclin （resistance rate ≤0.72％）；the resistance rates of E. faecalis to clindamycin and erythromycin were all more than 60％，and the sensitivity to other antibiotics was more than 60％. CONCLUSIONS The VRE infection strains in our hospital are mainly natural drug-resistant bacteria such as E. gallinarum and E. casseliflavus ，and vancomycin-resistant E. faecium is found. The resistance rates of different strains to antibiotics are quite different.
