Emergence and epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in Australia.

Communicable diseases intelligence - 29 Oct 1998

Bell J, Turnidge J, Coombs G, O'Brien F

Abstract excerpt

Enterococci with acquired resistance to vancomycin and other glycopeptides (VRE) have emerged and spread rapidly through Europe and the United States since 1988. The first isolate of VRE in Australia occurred in 1994. Only one case was noted in 1995. Since March 1996 there has been a steady incre...
