Clonal expansion of Tn1546-like transposon-carrying vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, a nationwide study in Taiwan, 2004-2018
Objectives: The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) has increased significantly in Taiwan. We investigated the molecular epidemiology of clinical VREfm isolates to increase our understanding on their spread and changes in population structure over a 14-year span. Methods:...
