Low risk of apparent transmission of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci from bacteraemic patients to hospitalized contacts

Background Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are primarily opportunistic pathogens with incalculable clinical significance. In addition, the effectiveness of isolation in VRE is often not easily assessed. The goals of this study were to estimate the transmissibility of VRE of patients with VRE bacteraemia to other hospitalized patients and to document reliable epidemiologic data on all VRE cases in a large health care center. Methods A prospective survey on in-patients colonized and/or systemically infected with VRE was conducted at a 2,000-bed tertiary...
