Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens since 1988. We report here an outbreak of VRE between April 1997 and May 1997 in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). All isolates from four patients were identified as Enterococcus faecium positive and were resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin. All of the patients with VRE were isolated for at least 5 d after admission...
