Lindsay T1 - Fecal Colonization with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in Australia T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2000 VL - 6 IS - 5 SP - 534 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To assess the rate of fecal vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization in Australia, we examined specimens from 1,085 healthy volunteers. VRE was cultured from 2 (0.2%) of 1,085 specimens; both were vanB Enterococcus faecium, identical by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, but with a pattern rare in Melbourne hospitals.
