Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: In Denmark, the incidence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) has increased since 2012. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology and clonal relatedness of VREfm isolates in Danish hospitals in 2012-13 using WGS. The second aim was to evaluate if WGS-based typing could replace PFGE for typing of VREfm. METHODS: A population-based study was conducted including all VREfm...
