Vancomycin-resistant staphylococci and enterococci: epidemiology and control
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review updates information on the development and spread of vancomycin resistance in staphylococci and enterococci. RECENT FINDINGS: New information on the genetic characterization of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the US indicates that each of the four was the result of an independent genetic event. New data suggest that vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus isolates, particularly those showing heteroresistance, are clinically significant. Finally, vancomycin-resistant enterococci continue to be reported from around the world. Novel infection control measures, however, may aid in reducing the spread of these organisms in healthcare settings. SUMMARY: The exchange of genetic information, particularly the vanA gene, between and among staphylococci and enterococci will continue to challenge physicians, microbiologists, and infection control practitioners in efforts to identify, treat, and prevent infections with these pathogens.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
