Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold>The emergence of vancomycin resistant enterococci poses a major problem in healthcare settings. Here we describe a hospital-wide outbreak of vancomycin-resistant <italic>Enterococcus faecium</italic> in a general hospital in The Netherlands in the period December 2014 – February 2017. Due to late detection of the outbreak, a large cohort of approximately 25,000 (d...
