Abstract excerpt

This study reports an outbreak of infection and colonization caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in the renal service of a large teaching hospital. The polymerase chain reaction and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were used to study the epidemiology of 26/34 strains of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium from the outbreak in comparison with five strains from other...
