Clinical impact of vancomycin-resistant enterococci colonization in nonliver solid organ transplantation and its implications for infection control strategies: A single-center, 10-year retrospective study.

Background: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization in nonliver solid organ transplantation (SOT) is poorly defined. Infection control management of these patients is influenced by the association of VRE with adverse outcomes in liver transplantation. This study examines the frequency and clinical impact of VRE colonization specifically on nonliver SOT patients and discusses implications for nosocomial VRE control.
