摘要: To describe the effect of active surveillance to control vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) after an outbreak, 549 rectal cultures were performed in 308 patients (35% positive). An educational intervention prevent transmission was implemented. Infection and colonization by VR- Enterococcus faecalis decreased, but faecium persisted despite measures. Infections VR-E fell zero 2008. We observed difficulties controlling with measures directed mainly differences between responses E faecalis.
