Evidence for the genetic unrelatedness of nosocomial vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains in a pediatric hospital.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Sept 1991

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci are now found with increasing frequency. Up to now, epidemiological studies of enterococci have been limited by the lack of convenient and accessible methods for comparing strains. In this study, we report an epidemiological investigation on 16 nosocomial vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from 15 patients in four different wards of a children's hospital...
