This nation-wide survey on the epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) included 142 healthcare institutions and showed an increasing number of VRE colonizations and infections in Switzerland, probably for the most part due to nosocomial dissemination. The introduction and spread of a new clone, gaps in VRE screening policies as well as heterogeneity regarding the management of VRE clusters may be possible explanations.
这项全国范围内的耐万古霉素肠球菌(VRE)流行病学调查包括 142 家医疗机构,结果显示瑞士 VRE 定植和感染的数量不断增加,这可能主要归因于医院内的传播。新克隆株的引入和传播、VRE 筛查政策的漏洞以及 VRE 聚集管理方面的异质性都可能是原因。
