Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemiologic characteristics of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infection. DESIGN: An epidemiologic description by means of chromosomal DNA fingerprinting and transposon typing. SETTING: A 2,200-bed tertiary care hospital in Korea. PATIENTS: First VRE isolates were obtained from patients hospitalized from April 1997 to December 2001. INTERVENTIONS: The van genotypes of...
