Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: In a tertiary Greek hospital with no documented vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infections, a cross-sectional study was conducted in order to determine the degree of VRE faecal carriage among adult patients hospitalized in high-risk units. METHODS: Specimens for the surveillance were collected from separate patients in two periods (January-May 1999 and January-May 2003); 258 specimens were...
