Hospital<i>Enterococcus faecium</i>demonstrates distinct environmental and patient reservoirs: a genomic point prevalence survey

2024-10-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Enterococcus faecium is a common cause of hospital-acquired infections and is associated with vancomycin resistance. The hospital environment is often a reservoir for E. faecium due to its ability to survive on surfaces. In 2019 we noted increasing prevalence of vanA E. faecium causing bloodstream infections. We aimed to assess the hospital environment as a reservoir of vanA E. faecium . <h4>Me...
