note = "Background: Enterococci are isolated frequently as pathogens in patients with intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) and may predict poor clinical outcomes. It remains controversial whether enterococci warrant an altered treatment approach with regard to antimicrobial treatment. Patients and Methods: The study population was derived from the Study to Optimize Peritoneal Infection Therapy (STOP-IT) trial database.",
