What is it about?
We included 4,858 isolates (59%, 36%, and 5% due to Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium, and other Enterococcus spp., respectively). A progressive increase in vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) bacteremias was observed. Resistance to tigecycline and linezolid was rarely reported.
