Abstract excerpt

Increasing prevalence of VanB Enterococcus faecium in Polish hospitals reported to National Reference Centre for Susceptibility Testing (NRCST) prompted us to investigate the basis of this phenomenon. Two-hundred seventy-eight E. faecium isolates of VanB phenotype from the period 1999 to 2010 obtained by NRCST were investigated by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and multilocus VNTR analysis (MLVA)....
