Abstract

Herein we report a case of urinary system infection and rectal colonization due to vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a patient with spinal cord injury. This is the first reported case of infection caused by this pathogen in this rehabilitation center. Two isolates were conferred high level vancomycin and teicoplanin resistance (MIC>256 mg/L) and were found to be susceptible to linezolid (MIC
