The answer is: B
This question demonstrates a commonly occurring clinical infectious disease and microbiologic problem. Enterococci may be resistant to ampicillin and gentamicin. Vancomycin would be the drug of choice. However, laboratory results do not always correlate well with clinical response.
The National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards recommends testing enterococci only for ampicillin and vancomycin. Some symptomatic patients may have 10 leukocytes per mL of urine but relatively few bacteria. The patient is likely infected and the organisms, particularly if in pure culture, should be further processed.
