Characterizing Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci in Neonatal Intensive Care

Characterizing Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci in Neonatal Intensive Care

Repetitive sequence–based polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting was used to characterize 23 vancomycin-nonsusceptible enterococcal isolates from 2003 to 2004. Five genetically related clusters spanned geographically distinct referring centers. DNA fingerprinting showed infant-to-infant transmissi...
