Outbreak of Colonization and Infection With Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium in a French University Hospital

Résumé

An outbreak of infection with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium occurred at Hôtel-Dieu Hospital (Clermont-Ferrand, France). A case-control study was performed in the infectious diseases and hematology units of the hospital. Urinary catheter use (odds ratio [OR], 12 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.5-90]; P <.02), prior exposure to a third-generation cephalosporin (OR, 22 [95% CI, 3-152]; P = .002), and prior exposure to antianaerobials (OR, 11 [95% CI, 1.5-88]; P <.02) were independently predictive of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium carriage.
