Vancomycin resistance predicts increased mortality in patients with <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> bloodstream infections: a six-year experience at a large tertiary care Italian hospital
E. faecium BSIs confirmed to be associated with high mortality rate, especially in fragile patients. Moreover, vancomycin resistance is an independent mortality factor. Further studies are needed to identify patients at higher risk for E. faecium BSI.
