Comparison of PCR and Culture for Screening of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci: Highly Disparate Results for vanA and vanB

We compared PCR to conventional culture for the detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in 30,835 rectal samples over a 3-year period. The positive and negative predictive values of vanB PCR were 1.42% and 99.9%, respectively. A positive vanB result by PCR is poorly predictive and necess...
