The emergence of multi-resistant Enterococcus faecalis clonal complex, CC4, causing nosocomial infections.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the prevalent subtypes and resistance profiles of E. faecalis causing nosocomial infection, and indicated that CC4 may be a newly emerging high-risk, multi-resistant cluster. More surveillance is urgently needed, which will increase our understanding of the prevention and treatment of such infections.
