摘要：
Background. The aim of the investigations was to compare the vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) strains obtained from our patients. Materials and Methods. Strains were compared using restriction fragment length polymorphism-pulsed field gel electrophoresis (RFLP-PFGE) of bacterial DNA. Results. VREfm infected 26 liver recipients, 22 kidney recipients, and 9 other surgery or nephrology patients. Only five strains possessed the vanB determinant. The PFGE analysis revealed two large and several small groups of related strains. Conclusions. The PFGE analysis enabled the investigation of VRE epidemiology among patients after transplantation. Strains with similar patterns most probably originated from one source and clearly suggested an outbreak.
