Clonal dissemination and colony morphotype variation of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Feb 1997

Dunne W M, Wang W

Abstract excerpt

Thirty-two isolates of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) recovered from 25 patients hospitalized at six hospitals in the metropolitan Detroit, Mich., area over a 32-month period were examined for relatedness by repetitive-sequence PCR (rep-PCR). All isolates were shown to carry the vanA gene by PCR. The rep-PCR patterns generated from each isolate showed that the first three VRE isolates obtained...
