Is there an association between colonisation of vancomycin resistant Enterococci, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, or Clostridiodes Difficile and mortality in sepsis?
We found that VRE colonisation, but not MRSA or C. diff colonisation, was associated with increased hospital mortality in septic patients.
