Antimicrobial resistance and virulence-associated genes of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates in Central Vietnam

Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium are prevalent pathogens in community and healthcare settings, often resistant to multiple antibiotics. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of virulence factors, drug resistance, and genetic determinants in clinical isolates in central Vietnam.
