Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) strains represent an important threat in hospital infections in the United States and are found at high frequencies in both the community and farm animals in Europe. We evaluated automated ribotyping for interlaboratory reproducibility by using the restriction enzymes EcoRI and BamHI and compared ribotyping to both amplification of fragment length polymorphism...
