Using Genomics To Investigate an Outbreak of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium ST78 at a Large Tertiary Hospital in Queensland

ABSTRACT To investigate an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) sequence type 78 (ST78) in a large tertiary Australian hospital. A collection of 63 VREfm ST78 isolates, identified during a routine genomic surveillance program, were subjected to genomic epidemiological analys...
