Molecular profiling of vancomycin-resistant enterococci isolated from bloodstream infections by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reaction: A prospective cross-sectional study from Northeast India

This study highlighted the prevalence, resistance patterns, and molecular characteristics of Enterococcus spp. Causing bloodstream infections in a Northeast Indian state. The predominance of VanA-mediated resistance and its clustering in critical care settings call for immediate attention to infection control and targeted antimicrobial strategies. Future research should focus on the environmental and epidemiological factors contributing to the spread of VRE in hospital as well as community settings in the region.
