We identified a novel van gene cluster in a clinical Enterococcus faecium isolate with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 µg/mL. The ligase gene, vanP, was part of a van operon cluster of 4,589 bp on a putative novel integrative conjugative element located in a ca 98 kb genomic region presumed to be acquired by horizontal gene transfer from Clostridiumscidens and Roseburia sp. 499. Screening for van genes in E. faecium strains with borderline susceptibility to vancomycin is important.

Første års erfaring med overvågning af infektioner erhvervet i sygehuse gennem HAIBA
Statens Serum Institut, 18.05.2016
Tilføjet 11.03.2021
I 2015 blev der etableret national overvågning af tre typer sygehuserhvervede infektioner gennem Hospital-Acquired Infections Database (HAIBA). Nu dokumenterer data fra HAIBA, at forekomsten af tarminfektioner forårsaget af bakterien Clostridium difficile falder. Dette fald ses især i Hovedstadsområdet og på Sjælland, og kan formentlig forklares med den store indsats der er gjort for at bekæmpe disse infektioner.
