Emergence of a Novel, Phenotypically Difficult-to-Detect Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Clone (ST117/CT7799). [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
A newly emerged vanB‐VREfm clone (ST117/CT7799) causes an ongoing outbreak in southeastern Austria. The cluster is highly homogenous, even for isolates sampled months apart. Resistance is easily missed via disk diffusion, gradient tests, and microdilution. VITEK 2 testing reliably detects vancomycin‐resistance.
