Faster and economical screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci by sequential use of chromogenic agar and real-time polymerase chain reaction

Background/Purpose: Screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) by culture takes days to generate results, while polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing directly from clinical specimens lacks specificity. The aims of this study were to develop a real-time PCR to detect and identify Enteroco...
