Restricted Gene Flow among Hospital Subpopulations of Enterococcus faecium

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Enterococcus faecium has recently emerged as an important multiresistant nosocomial pathogen. Defining population structure in this species is required to provide insight into the existence, distribution, and dynamics of specific multiresistant or pathogenic lineages in particular environments, like the hospital. Here, we probe the population structure of E. faecium using Bayesian-based population...
