Effects of Cessation of Single-Room Isolation on Transmission of Vancomycin-Resistant in a Hospital.

Background: Single room isolation with contact precautions is widely regarded as a fundamental strategy to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). However, its implementation demands substantial resources, limiting its universal application to all MDROs. In this study, we assessed the effect of discontinuing single room isolation for vancomycin-resistant (VRE).
