Abstract
We assessed the hospital environment as a reservoir of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VRE) and compared environmental VRE isolates to bloodstream infection E. faecium isolates. We identified distinct environmental and patient reservoirs, with the environment dominated by vanB VRE. Environment-clinical reservoir spillover accounted for 292/895 (33%) of putative transmission links.
期刊介绍：
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology provides original, peer-reviewed scientific articles for anyone involved with an infection control or epidemiology program in a hospital or healthcare facility. Written by infection control practitioners and epidemiologists and guided by an editorial board composed of the nation''s leaders in the field, ICHE provides a critical forum for this vital information.
