Enterococci From Commensals to Leading Causes of Drug Resistant Infection
Over the past 30 years, multidrug resistant enterococci have emerged as leading causes of hospital acquired infection. With the acquisition of resistance to vancomycin in the mid 1980's many of these infections became extremely difficult to treat. To address this problem, researchers with an in...
