Clonal spread of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium ST80, ST117 and ST203 across Belgian hospitals
Transparency Declaration
• The authors have no conflict of interest to declare
• Enterococcus spp. is of the leading pathogens in hospitalized patients,
accounting for nosocomial infections:
• Including endocarditis, bloodstream infections, and urinary tract
infections,
• associated with peritonitis and intra abdominal abscesses.

Conclusion
• Belgian E. faecium ST80, ST117 and ST203 isolates can be divided into
distinct (sub)clusters.
• Clonal spread of E. faecium ST80 vanA over at least 5 hospitals within the
Liège province.
• Clonal spread of E. faecium ST117 vanB over 3 hospitals in West-Flanders,
6 hospitals in Brussels Capital region, and 7 hospitals in the North-east of
Belgium.
• Typing of E. faecium is critical to monitor further spread of dominant clones.
• If patients are transferred from one hospital to another, information on VRE-
carriage status should be provided.
