Abstract Background Vancomycin-resistance in Enterococcus faecium (VRE) poses a major
threat in health care settings. It is well known that patients in hematology and oncology …

Controlling the spread of multi-or extensively drug-resistant bacteria (MDR or XDR) includes
a dual strategy for reducing antibiotic prescriptions and preventing their spread from patient …

Objectives Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) have been increasingly
reported since the 1980s. Despite the high number of published studies about VRE …

Enterococcus faecium has increasingly been reported as a nosocomial pathogen since the
early 1990s, presumptively associated with the expansion of a human-associated …

Wound infection and colonization following cardiac surgery is well known but rarely caused
by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). A case of femoral wound colonization by vanA …

Objectives: The aim of our study was to characterize and elicit the genetic relatedness of
emerging vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) isolated between 2012 and 2015 at a …

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are common nosocomial pathogens; however, until
now they have been rarely encountered in Hungary. In the present study, we investigated …

The presence of the vanA gene was determined in enterococci from healthy poultry,
originating from the Hungarian resistance monitoring system between 2001 and 2004 …

Excessive use of antibiotics contributes to the selection of resistant bacteria and intestinal
colonization with multiresistant pathogens poses a risk factor for subsequent infections. The …

The objectives of this work were to collect and characterize vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus faecium (VREF) clinical isolates from Hungary and Serbia and to analyse their …
