Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) belonging to sequence type 80 (ST80) have been successfully disseminating in hospital settings. This study aimed to explore whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based approaches in epidemiological typing of VRE by investigating a collection of ST80 strains. METHODS: In total, 41 VRE ST80 isolates in three suspected transmission chains were subjected to WGS. The...
