Abstract excerpt

AIMS: In this study we analysed urban, hospital wastewater and pig faeces samples to investigate the presence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains (VREF) and to determine potential links among the strains originating from the above sources and VREF strains causing clinical infections. METHODS AND RESULTS: Urban, hospital wastewater and pig faeces exhibited high VREF prevalence of 52%, 87% and 85%,...
