了解长期护理机构（LTCF）居民中万古霉素耐药肠球菌（VRE）定植的患病率和相关风险标志物可用于改善新入院住院患者的筛查政策。在对耶路撒冷LTCF的1，215名居民进行的横断面调查中，VRE携带率为9.6%。既往住院和抗生素治疗与VRE定植率升高相关。相比之下，中度和重度依赖和长期停留在LTCF与VRE定植率下降。
Knowledge of the prevalence rates and associated risk markers of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization among long-term care facility (LTCF) residents could be used to improve screening policies among newly admitted hospital inpatients. In a cross-sectional survey among 1,215 residents of LTCFs in Jerusalem, the VRE carriage rate was 9.6%. Previous hospitalization and antibiotic treatment were associated with elevated VRE colonization rate. In contrast, moderate and severe levels of dependency and prolonged stay in an LTCF were associated with a decrease in the VRE colonization rate.
