Reduced chlorhexidine and daptomycin susceptibility arises in vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> after serial chlorhexidine exposure

2017-06-14

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) are critical public health concerns because they are among the leading causes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a bisbiguanide cationic antiseptic that is routinely used for patient bathing and other infection control practices. VREfm are likely frequently exposed to CHX; however, the long-term effects of CHX exposure have not bee...
