Risk factors and outcomes associated with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis bacteraemia: A 10-year study in a tertiary-care centre in Mexico City

Objectives: We sought to identify risk factors associated with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) and ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (ARE) bacteraemia, predictors of 30-day mortality, and 90-day recurrence-free survival according to resistance. Methods: We evaluated clinical...
