Longitudinal wastewater-based surveillance of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci in tertiary-care hospitals

2025-01-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) is an important cause of healthcare-associated infections. We adapted wastewater-based surveillance as a tool to longitudinally monitor VRE in hospitals through the detection of vancomycin resistance genes vanA and vanB . <h4>Methods</h4> Wastewater from four tertiary-care hospitals (three adult and one pediatric, totaling >2300 inpatient beds) and all three...
