Distinguishing Clinical <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> Strains and Resistance to Vancomycin Using a Simple In-House Screening Test

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a major concern as microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance and as a public health threat contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality, and socio-economic costs. Among VREs, vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> (VREfm) is f...
