The relative importance of human and animal sources of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in immunocompromised patients in hospital

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecium is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infection, disproportionally affecting immunocompromised and critically ill patients. Despite infection control measures, rates of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) bacteraemias have failed to decline in the United Kingdom, and Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) report the highest numbers nationally. The aims of my PhD were to use epidemiological...
