Özet

Background: Active screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) using rectal specimens is recommended to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance within certain high-risk populations. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of Vancomycin Resistance 3 Multiplexed Tandem FOR assay (AusDiagnostics, Australia), a rapid multiplex real-time FOR assay that detects vanA and/or vanB.
