Rising daptomycin resistance in <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> across a hospital system occurred via rampant recurrent evolution and occasional transmission between patients
2023-05-15
Abstract excerpt
The rise of antibiotic resistance in a population involves two distinct processes: the origin of resistance and its spread. Here we study the contribution of both processes to the increase in daptomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium in a hospital system. This case-control genomic study includes whole-genome sequencing of 82 isolates obtained from 24 case patients with clinically determined daptomycin-resista...
