Background/Objectives: Enterococcus is one of the major nosocomial pathogens. The present status antimicrobial resistance determinants and virulence factors was analyzed for current causing infectious diseases in Bangladesh. Methods: Clinical isolates recovered from various specimens a tertiary care hospital were analyzed. Antimicrobial susceptibility measured by broth microdilution test, genes/virulence detected uniplex/multiplex PCR, along with sequencing analysis as required. sequence type (ST) E. faecalis faecium identified based on multilocus typing (MLST) scheme. Results: For one-year period, total 143 (135 faecalis, 7 faecium, 1 hirae) collected. Although all susceptible to penicillin, high rates noted against erythromycin (87%) levofloxacin (62%). High-level gentamicin 30% 86% faecium. Vancomycin due vanA isolate each (ST1912, CC116) (ST80, CC17). Three (2.2%) ST32 or ST1902 resistant linezolid, harboring optrA-fexA. Conclusions: study identifies vancomycin-resistant humans Bangladesh shows potential spread optrA multiple lineages faecalis.
