| Abstract |
The study of virulence genes carried by enterococci has become of greater relevance as nosocomial enterococcal infections have become more prevalent and possibly more severe. Surveillance swabs were performed on children less than 18 months of age in an intensive care unit in Iran in 2012-2013. Multiplex PCR and sequencing methods were used to detect gelE, esp and asa1 genes in enterococci with intermediate or full resistance to vancomycin. The rate of carriage of the genes was gelE (91%), esp (79%) and asa1 (87%). The majority of enterococcal strains with resistance to vancomycin carry genes for all three potential virulence factors that were analyzed in this study. This might explain why enterococcal infections appear to be more virulent than in the past. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 April 2016.
All research outputs
#22,756,649
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Microbiology & Infectious Disease
#1,973
of 2,303 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#272,336
of 315,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Microbiology & Infectious Disease
#21
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,303 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,342 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
