Genomic insights into the spread of vancomycin- and tigecycline-resistant Enterococcus faecium ST117
The spread of E. faecium isolates ST117 resistant to vancomycin and tigecycline was identified. The discrepancies between resistance genotypes and phenotypes highlight the importance of combining molecular and phenotypic surveillance in antimicrobial resistance monitoring.
