1. Introduction Antibiotic resistance is a significant and growing global problem that poses a serious threat to public health, especially with respect to healthcare-acquired (HA) infections [1]. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) is one of the leading causes of HA infections [2]. Bloodstream infections (BSIs) that are caused by VRE are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Mortality rates range between 20% and 52% [3,4,5,6,7].
