What are the Treatment Options for Enterococcal Infections in Cancer Patients?
The treatment of enterococcal infections in cancer patients depends on the specific strain and its antibiotic resistance profile. For non-resistant strains, antibiotics such as ampicillin or gentamicin may be effective. However, for VRE infections, treatment options are limited and may include newer antibiotics such as linezolid or daptomycin. Combination therapy is often considered to enhance efficacy and prevent the emergence of resistance.
