ABSTRACT
The isolation of clinical strains of enterococci requiring vancomycin for growth has been reported, but transient strain has not been reported. Transient glycopeptide-dependent Enterococcus f aecium was isolated from the blood of a 59-year-old female with advanced rectal carcinoma during long term broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy. This strain showed transient glycopeptide dependency, but glycopeptide-resistant revertants were found on subculture to blood agar without vancomycin. It was found to be the vanA genotype by the polymerase chain reaction analysis.
