Abstract excerpt

We describe the control of a hospital-wide vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) outbreak in a 2,000-bed university hospital located on three different sites in Clermont-Ferrand, France. From January 2004 to April 2007, 220 VRE cases were identified. Overall, 28 different wards had at least one case. All of the strains expressed a high level of resistance to vancomycin and to teicoplanin carried by the...
