Epidemiological typing of ST80 vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium: core genome multilocus sequence typing versus single nucleotide polymorphism-based typing

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) belonging to sequence type 80 (ST80) have been successfully disseminating in hospital settings. This study aimed to explore whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based approaches in epidemiological typing of VRE by investigating a collec...
