Population genetic structure of disease-causing vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> in a hospital closely reflects the dynamics of colonizing populations in patients

2026-01-09

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is a common nosocomial pathogen that can lead to severe and difficult-to-treat infections. VREfm effectively exploits healthcare environments because transmission chains are difficult to prevent and eradicate. VREfm also readily acquires antimicrobial resistance (AMR), strongly reducing the likelihood of treatment success. Here we compare the genetic population st...
