Genomic Insights to Control the Emergence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci

ABSTRACT Nosocomial outbreaks of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) are thought to occur by transmission of VREfm between patients, predicting that infection control interventions will limit cross-transmission. Despite implementation of such strategies, the incidence of VREfm infectio...
