Sinclair,† Christopher K Fairley,† and M. Lindsay Grayson*† * Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne, Australia; †Monash University, Melbourne, Australia To assess the rate of fecal vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization in Australia, we examined specimens from 1,085 healthy volunteers. VRE was cultured from 2 (0.2%) of 1,085 specimens; both were vanB Enterococcus faecium, identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, but with a pattern rare in Melbourne hospitals. Colonization and infection with vancomycin- chosen because they were representative of resistant enterococci (VRE) are emerging world- young Australian families in eating habits and wide. In Europe, agricultural use of the glyco- medical care. Thus, the elderly, the unmarried, peptide growth promoter avoparcin has been and the very poor were not represented. Study implicated in the emergence of vanA VRE in the participants had no history of diarrhea or food chain (1), and fecal colonization rates of 2%- antibiotic use at the time of specimen collection. 28% have been reported in some communities (2,3). For VRE screening, frozen samples were In the United States, where avoparcin is not thawed and spread onto enterococcosel agar used, both vanA and vanB VRE strains appear to (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, MD) be largely nosocomially spread, with fecal VRE containing 6 µg/mL vancomycin and incubating colonization rare in nonhospitalized patients (4,5). at 35°C for 48-72 hours. Each sample was also By contrast, in Australia, where avoparcin has incubated in enterococcosel broth (BBL) without been used widely (10,000 kg/year) in agriculture vancomycin for 48 hours, before being spread for many years (6) and the per capita consump- onto enterococcosel agar containing 6 µg/mL tion of antibiotics is one of the highest in the vancomycin.
