Predictors for vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium transforming from colonization to infection: a case control study
Abstract Background Little is known about risk factors for subsequent infections among vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) colonizers, especially characterized by concordant pulsotypes (CP) of paired colonization and infection-related isolates. Methods This case-control study was condu...
