Abstract excerpt
Enterococcus faecium is a pathogen that frequently causes infections and outbreaks in hospitals. Despite the increasing need for genomic surveillance of E. faecium, a standardized genomic analysis framework for this pathogen is lacking. We aim to conduct a comprehensive global epidemiological overview and propose a genomic analysis framework. We analysed 21,058 public E. faecium genomes from 80 countries to...
