Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the dynamics of colonizing Enterococcus faecium clones during hospitalization, invasive infection and after discharge. METHODS: In a prospective observational study we compared intestinal E. faecium colonization in three patient cohorts: 1) Patients from the Hematology Unit at the University Hospital Basel (UHBS), Switzerland, were investigated by weekly rectal swabs (RS) during...
