(17) Den Videnskabelige Komité for Foder er foruroliget over udviklingen af vancomycinresistens hos enterokokker og methicillinresistente stammer af Staphylococcus aureus, der stadigt hyppigere fører til nosokomielle infektioner, især i De Forenede Stater og i Sydeuropa; dette kunne som sidste udvej føre til anvendelsen af streptograminer for at behandle disse bakterier, der er blevet resistente over for andre antibiotika;
(17) Whereas SCAN is also concerned about the development of vancomycin resistance amongst enterococci and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, which are increasingly responsible for nosocomial infections, particularly in the United States and southern Europe; whereas that could make it necessary to use streptogramins as therapeutic agents of last resort to treat germs which have developed resistance to other antibiotics;
