Using Genomics To Investigate an Outbreak of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium ST78 at a Large Tertiary Hospital in Queensland
16 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is a leading cause of health care-associated infections (HAIs) globally. In Australia, the spread of hospital-adapted VREfm is largely driven by a single clonal group (clonal complex [CC]), CC17, to which the lineage ST78 belongs. While implementing a genomic surveillance program in Queensland, we observed increased incidence of ST78 colonizations and infections...
