Abstract

Background: The objectives is to study the correlation between virulence factors and drug resistance. Subjects and Methods: Detection of Virulence factors Hemolysin by using blood agar Gelatinase by using gelatine agar Biofilm by using tube adherence method, Detection of Drug resistance Detection of MIC by agar dilution method. Results: Virulence factors were produced by majority of VRE, LRE and HLGR strains. Conclusion: Virulence factors like hemolysin, Gelatinase and Biofilm were produced by majority of VRE, LRE and HLGR strains. This Proved that there is a significant association between the virulence factors and drug resistance.
