Changes in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium causing outbreaks in Brazil.

The Journal of hospital infection - 1 Sept 2011

Palazzo I C V, Pitondo-Silva A, Levy C E, da Costa Darini A L

Abstract excerpt

Enterococci have been implicated in severe human infections as a consequence of associated determinants of virulence and antimicrobial resistance. The majority of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE(fm)) connected to outbreaks worldwide pertains to the clonal complex 17 (CC17). In Brazil, the majority of VRE(fm) involved in outbreaks reported so far are not related to CC17. VRE(fm) strains responsible...
