Abstract excerpt
The iNtRON vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) vanA/vanB real-time PCR assay was directly applied to stool surveillance (direct-PCR). direct-PCR was compared to 2 culture-based methods using Enterococcosel broth (enrichment-culture) and ChromID VRE media. The positive broth of the enrichment-culture was submitted to phenotypic confirmation of subcultured colonies and genotyping by Seeplex VRE PCR. From...
