Global Spread of Vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> from Distinct Nosocomial Genetic Complex

1 Jun 2005

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have caused hospital outbreaks worldwide, and the vancomycin-resistance gene (vanA) has crossed genus boundaries to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Spread of VRE, therefore, represents an immediate threat for patient care and creates a reservoir of mobile resistance genes for other, more virulent pathogens. Evolutionary genetics, population structure, and...
