Environmental contamination by vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) in Swedish broiler production [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2009
Background Vancomycin resistant enterococci are a frequent cause of nosocomial infections and their presence among farm animals is unwanted. Using media supplemented with vancomycin an increase in the proportion of samples from Swedish broilers positive ...

Emergence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
Vancomycin and ampicillin resistance in clinical Enterococcus faecium strains has developed in the past decade. Failure to adhere to strict infection control to prevent the spread of these pathogens has been well established.

Novel genomic islands and a new vanDsubtype in the first sporadic VanD-type vancomycin resistant enterococci in Norway [PDF]

, 2021
Background - Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) represent several types of transferable vancomycin resistance gene clusters. The vanD type, associated with moderate to high level vancomycin resistance, has only sporadically been described in clinical
