Outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium starting among patients admitted to a surgical unit in a Swedish county

2022-07-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) is a nosocomial pathogen that causes infection mainly in patients with critical illnesses in intensive care units, severe underlying diseases or weakened immune systems. Intensive pretreatment with antibiotics and the use of urinary catheters also constitute a risk. Due to its hardy nature, the bacterium can survive for long periods in a hospita...
