Abstract
High-level resistance to aminoglycosides was observed in environmental isolates of enterococci. Various aquatic habitats, including agricult ural runoff, creeks, rivers, wastewater, and wells, were analyzed. Str ains of Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium, E. gallinarum, and other En terococcus spp. demonstrated multiple antibiotic resistance patterns t o aminoglycosides.
