Investigating pathways of vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus</i> (VRE) contamination and transmission in intensive care units: a prospective genomic surveillance study

2026-07-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) species are common healthcare-associated pathogens that cause difficult-to-treat infections. Whole genome sequencing of patients has revealed a substantial burden of patient-to-patient VRE transmission in hospitals, with patients in intensive care units (ICUs) at particularly high risk of acquisition. However, few studies adequately characterize the pat...
