DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2019.04.010

Abstract: OBJECTIVE The optimal therapy for serious enterococcal infections, especially vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), remains unclear, although combination therapy is often recommended. Oritavancin has demonstrated in-vitro activity against VRE, but data evaluating oritavancin in combination with other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/ice.2022.239

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To determine whether discontinuing active screening for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) in Alberta, Canada, acute-care facilities had an associated impact on the rate of rise of hospital-acquired (HA) VRE bloodstream infection (VRE-BSI). SETTING Acute-care facilities… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofae631.611

Abstract: Abstract Background The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is an ideal reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes where, under antibiotic pressure, multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) express and disseminate resistance genes via horizontal gene transfer. Control of GIT-MDROs such… read more here.
