Abstract
A strong association was observed between high-level resistance to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin for isolates of Enterococcus faecalis collected in the UK and Ireland as part of the BSAC Bacteraemia Resistance Surveillance Programme, 2001. Thus, 60 of 66 E. faecalis isolates with gentamicin MICs > or =512 mg/L were highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (MICs > or =32 mg/L), compared with only three of 83 E. faecalis isolates with normal gentamicin susceptibility (MICs
