The number of ampicillin-resistant enterococci (ARE) was noted to be increased at our teaching hospital.
To determine the risk factors for acquiring this organism and to compare clinical outcomes, over a 5-month period 38 patients infected or colonized with ARE were compared with 76 patients infected or colonized with ampicillin-susceptible enterococci (ASE).
Risk factors included nosocomial acquisition, duration of hospitalization, admission to a medical service, prior antimicrobial therapy, and combination therapy for at least 7 days.
The mortality rate of patients infected or colonized with ARE was higher than that of patients infected or colonized with ASE (34 versus 14% ; P=0.03), but most deaths did not appear to be related to enterococcal infection.
