Whole-genome sequencing reveals transmission of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a healthcare network

BACKGROUND: Bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has the potential to identify reservoirs of multidrug-resistant organisms and transmission of these pathogens across healthcare networks. We used WGS to define transmission of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) within a long-term care facility...
