Article Synopsis
- Certain extensively drug-resistant Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) strains are exhibiting dual resistance to linezolid and glycopeptides, highlighting a significant health challenge on Reunion Island, where a recent outbreak of linezolid- and vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (LVREf) occurred.
- A study analyzed vancomycin-resistant E. faecium isolates from 2015 to 2019, identifying a cluster of seven outbreak isolates in 2019 linked to an imported strain from India, along with a notable genetic profile that included resistance genes.
- The findings emphasize the urgent need for stringent infection control measures to prevent the spread of these resistant strains and address the public health risks associated
A 19-year-old patient admitted in an oncology unit for an autograft (Hodgkin disease), developed on day 20 a fatal acute respiratory failure and multiple organ failure due to an infection of the A(H1N1)v2009 virus, which was acquired in the hospital, despite partial preventive measures. At that time, the specific vaccine was not available in Réunion. We discuss the nosocomial origin of the infection.

Few publications describe this problem in the Indian Ocean area. The aim of this study is first to identify in Félix Guyon Hospital (Reunion Island) the emergent antibiotics resistance for enterobacteriaceae between 1997/1998 and 2006/2007 periods, at second, to update the prophylactic and therapeutic measures for handling the risk linked to multiresistant enterobacteriaceae in our hospital and third, to assess the risk in Reunion Island and especially at the community level.
