Global Spread of Vancomycin-resistant<i>Enterococcus faecium</i>from Distinct Nosocomial Genetic Complex

2005-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have caused hospital outbreaks worldwide, and the vancomycin-resistance gene (vanA) has crossed genus boundaries to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Spread of VRE, therefore, represents an immediate threat for patient care and creates a reservoir of mobile resistance genes for other, more virulent pathogens. Evolutionary genetics, population structure, and geograp...
