Abstract

AbstractWound infection and colonization following cardiac surgery is well known but rarely caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). A case of femoral wound colonization by vanA carrying Enterococcus faecalis in a patient following mitral prolapse surgery is described in this report.
