Twenty-five years of shared life with vancomycin-resistant enterococci: is it time to divorce?

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy - 1 Apr 2013

Cattoir Vincent, Leclercq Roland

Abstract excerpt

Twenty-five years ago, isolation of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREm) was reported both in the UK and in France. Since then, VREm has spread worldwide in hospitals. Hospital outbreaks appeared to be related to the evolution since the end of 1980s of a subpopulation of E. faecium highly resistant to ampicillin and fluoroquinolones (the so-called clonal complex CC17) that later acquired resistance to...
