Clonal outbreak of ST17 multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium harbouring an Inc18-like::Tn1546 plasmid in a haemo-oncology ward of a Spanish hospital

6 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To report a clonal outbreak of ST17 vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) carrying Tn1546 (vanA) in a haemo-oncology ward of a tertiary teaching hospital in the south of Spain (January-September 2009). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-two VREfm strains from 13 patients were characterized by PFGE, multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) and multilocus sequence typing...
