Genomic sequencing surveillance of patients colonized with vancomycin-resistant enterococci improves detection of healthcare-associated transmission

Abstract Background Vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infections pose significant challenges in healthcare. Transmission dynamics of VRE are complex, often involving patient colonization and subsequent transmission through various healthcare-associated vectors. We utilized a whole genome seque...
