COVID-19 offers ideal premises for bacteria to develop antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we evaluated the presence of several antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) in vancomycin-resistant (VRE) isolated from rectal swabs from patients at a hospital in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Rectal swabs were cultivated on CHROMID VRE (bioMérieux, Marcy-l' Étoile, France) and positive isolates were identified using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) and further analyzed using the PCR technique for the presence of the following ARGs: , , , , , , , , , , , , , and .

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 447 human infection cases related to these bacteria were reviewed, with 58.61% being infections and 41.39% being infections.
- * Most infections occur in patients with underlying health issues; however, 17.9% were in previously healthy individuals, and the study notes a total of 10 deaths related to these infections.
Aim: Carbapenem-resistant strains have been increasingly reported over the last few years. In this study we used laboratory records to determine the occurrence of carbapenem-resistant strains from hospitalized patients with emphasis on the comparative analysis of the incidence in various health-care settings.
Materials And Methods: From January 2012 to November 2012 and from May 2013 to November 2013, we evaluated 566 strains (Acinetobacter spp.
