Abstract excerpt

Between June and November 2004, a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) strain was isolated from 13 patients in the haematology/bone marrow transplant unit. There were difficulties in identifying the organism, which had low-level, inducible vancomycin resistance, and standard screening...
