IS element IS16 as a molecular screening tool to identify hospital-associated strains of Enterococcus faecium
BACKGROUND: Hospital strains of Enterococcus faecium could be characterized and typed by various molecular methods (MLST, AFLP, MLVA) and allocated to a distinct clonal complex known as MLST CC17. However, these techniques are laborious, time-consuming and cost-intensive. Our aim was to identify hos...
