OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) has increased markedly during the past decade. Few data exist regarding the epidemiology of resistance of VRE to chloramphenicol, one of the few therapeutic options.DESIGN: Survey and case-control study.SETTING: A 725-bed, tertiary-care academic medical center and a 344-bed urban community hospital.PATIENTS: Hospitalized patients with blood cultures demonstrating VRE.METHODS: We examined the trends in the prevalence of chloramphenicol resistance in VRE blood isolates at our institution from 1991 through 2002 and conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors for chloramphenicol resistance among these isolates.RESULTS: From 1991 through 2002, the annual prevalence of chloramphenicol-resistant VRE increased from 0% to 12% (P
