Abstract
ABSTRACTForty vancomycin‐resistant enterococci (VRE) were isolated from feces of pigs in one pig farm. Two strains were further elucidated and these were biochemically identified as Enterococcus faecium possessing the vanB gene. These isolates showed high resistance to vancomycin and nine other antibiotics. This is the first report of VRE contamination in pigs in Japan.
