Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have become a major cause of nosocomial infections. The increase of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VR-Efm) in an intensive care unit (ICU) of an Italian university hospital from 2003 through 2004, led us to evaluate the phenotypic and genetic features of these strains. The prevalence of different bacterial species in this ICU is described. The antibiotic resistance profiles of VR-Efm strains, their van-genotype and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles were also analyzed.
