Abstract excerpt

Background: Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) occur with enhanced frequency in hospitalised patients. This study elucidates the prevalence of VRE on admission among surgical intensive care unit (SICU) patients, whether these patients are at special risk for VRE acquisition and which risk factors support this process. Methods: Patients admitted to SICUs of the University Hospital Münster were examined during...
