Table 5

Multidrug resistance profile of Enterococcus.

Enterococcal species	No. of isolates exhibiting multidrug resistant pattern
	R3	R4	R5
E. faecium	8	5	5
E. faecalis	6	2	2
E. avium	1	0	0
Total MDR (N, (%))	15 (16.5)	7 (7.7)	7 (7.7)

R3 = resistant to 3 antimicrobial classes, R4 = resistant to 4 antimicrobial classes, R5 = resistant to 5 antimicrobial classes, and MDR = multidrug resistance.
