Attributable mortality of vancomycin resistance in ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecium bacteremia in Denmark and the Netherlands: A matched cohort study
OBJECTIVE: To study whether replacement of nosocomial ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (ARE) clones by vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VRE), belonging to the same genetic lineages, increases mortality in patients with E. faecium bacteremia, and to evaluate whether any such increase is mediated by a delay in appropriate antibiotic therapy. DESIGN: Retrospective, matched-cohort study. SETTING: The study included 20 Dutch and Danish hospitals from 2009 to 2014.
