Abstract

Results for isolation of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci from fecal samples of pigs and chickens were found to differ strongly depending upon the type and age of animals and isolation technique (direct selective plate or broth enrichment). Isolations were frequent in broiler chickens and in sows but rare in layer chickens.
