The changing landscape of VREfm in Victoria, Australia: a State-wide genomic snapshot

2018-03-28

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) represent a major source of nosocomial infection worldwide. In Australia, the vanB genotype is dominant; however there has been a recent increase in the predominantly plasmid-encoded vanA genotype, prompting investigation into the genomic epidemiology of VREfm in this context. <h4>Materials and Methods</h4> A cross-sectional study of VREfm in Victoria, Austral...
