Isolating patients infected or colonized with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in a private room or cohort room to prevent hospital transmission is controversial. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a relaxed isolation policy for VRE-infected or colonized patients on healthcare-associated (HA) VRE bacteraemia in an acute care hospital with a predominantly shared room setting.

Isolating patients with #VRE to prevent hospital transmission is controversial. This study suggests that in a hospital with shared rooms, relaxation of isolation policy did not result in increased VRE bacteraemia when other #IPC measures were maintained https://t.co/7rsBUmTRH1 https://t.co/M3qpEH0XqI
