Sources and pathways of spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in hemato-onkological patients

Original language description

Recently, the importance of gram-positive, often multiresistant, bacteria, bacteria in the etiopathogenesis of - particularly nosocomial - infectious has increased. Among these, a significant role is played by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) present especially in patients with hematooncological diseases and those in intensive care units. Although they mostly represent mere colonization of the gastrointestinal tract they can also cause serious infections which are difficult to mamage therapeutically. VRE were first isolated in Europe in 1986 and a year later in the USA. At present, VRE are described in other countries in the world. In the Czech Republic, VRE were first reported at the Department of Hemato-oncology, University Hospital Olomouc (DHO) in 1997. The presented study aims at analysing an increased prevalence of VRE in the DHO patients in early 2005, assessing their importance and formulating a hypothesis concerning their source and potential transmission pathways as bas
