Abstract
ABSTRACTOf 1,927Enterococcusspecies isolates collected across Canada from 2007 to 2013, 80 (4.2%) were identified as vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). VRE infections during this time tripled in Canadian hospitals, from 1.8% to 6.0% (P= 0.03). All VRE wereEnterococcus faecium, with 90% possessingvanA. The prevalence ofvanBdecreased from 37.5% in 2007 to 0% in 2013 (P< 0.05). The VRE were multidrug resistant, but 70.6%, 86.3%, and 100% were susceptible to doxycycline, linezolid, and daptomycin, respectively.
