Twelve years of genomic surveillance of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium: emergence of linear vanA and bacteriocin-carrying plasmids challenging infection control

Abstract Background The epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) varies across different countries, with a steady global increase. In Portugal, however, epidemiological data on clinical VREfm have been scarce since the early 2000s. This long-term study investigates VREfm iso...
