INTRODUCTION: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are emerging multidrug-resistant bacteria. They can cause serious nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised patients.
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: In this study, we aimed to determine the burden of intestinal VRE colonization and clinically relevant infection in adult hematologic and oncologic patients at a tertiary care clinic in Germany based on prospective infection surveillance and an active screening program.
RESULTS: In a 12 month period, 132 of 555 patients had intestinal VRE-colonization (23.8%) and four patients (0.7% of the entire cohort, and 3.0% of those colonized with VRE) developed a nosocomial infection with VRE.
CONCLUSIONS: The prospective surveillance and active screening for VRE was very useful to determine the true ratio of intestinal colonization to infection and thus helps to shape infection control management.
