Hospital-acquired vancomycin-resistant enterococci: now appearing in Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

The Medical journal of Malaysia - 1 Oct 2006

Zubaidah A W, Ariza A, Azmi S

Abstract excerpt

Hospital-acquired vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were first reported in the late 1980s and have since been an increasing problem worldwide. Kuala Lumpur Hospital thus far, to the best of our knowledge has been spared from this pathogen. We describe the first confirmed case of Enterococcus faecium exhibiting the van A phenotype in our hospital, in a patient with chronic renal failure who was successfully...
