Screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci: results of a survey in Stockholm.

APMIS : acta pathologica, microbiologica, et immunologica Scandinavica - 1 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are emerging in Stockholm hospitals. To rapidly screen for VRE from stool and rectal swab samples, a detection assay combining broth enrichment and real-time PCR was set up. From September to December 2008, 6914 samples were screened for VRE using the broth-PCR combined assay. Of them, 5463 samples were reported as negative the day after sampling. Among the 6914 samples, 47...
