Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have been isolated in increasing numbers. Hospital-adapted VRE exhibit relatively high pathogenicity by expressing factors like enterococcal surface protein (Esp), which facilitates epidemic spread. By contrast, 'community-acquired' VRE show low pathogenicity and non-epidemic features. In 2004 and 2005 an extended outbreak of VRE occurred at a university hospital in...
