Using core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates to guide infection control interventions and end an outbreak

Objectives: Until July 2016, vancomycin-resistantEnterococcus faecium (VREfm) was sporadically detected in Odense University Hospital, Denmark. After July 2016, the number of VREfm cases increased.
