Consideration of within-patient diversity highlights transmission pathways and antimicrobial resistance gene variability in vancomycin resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>
2022-09-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Synopsis</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly applied to healthcare-associated vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) outbreaks. Within-patient diversity could complicate transmission resolution if single colonies are sequenced from identified cases. <h4>Objectives</h4> Determine the impact of within-patient diversity on transmission resolution of VREfm <h4>Met...
