Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are nosocomial pathogens with genetic plasticity and widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To prevent the spread of VRE in the hospital setting, molecular epidemiological approaches such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing have been implemented for pathogen outbreak surveillance. However, due to the insufficient discriminatory power of...
