Management of a hospital-wide vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium outbreak in a Dutch general hospital, 2014-2017: successful control using a restrictive screening strategy

Veronica Weterings et al.

Summary: A hospital in the Netherlands experienced an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium from December 2014 to February 2017. A control strategy was implemented, involving targeted screening and isolation, periodic hospital-wide point prevalence screening, measures to improve compliance with standard infection control precautions, and enhanced environmental cleaning. This strategy successfully controlled the outbreak within nine months, with a reduction in isolation days and cultures taken.
