Background: in cases of bloodstream infection (BSI). Methods: (VREm). We calculated total hospital costs for VSEm, VSEf and VREm. Conclusion: Our data indicates that in-hospital mortality and infection-attributed hospital stay in enterococci BSI might rather be influenced by Enterococcus species and underlying diseases than by vancomycin resistance. Therefore, future studies should consider adjusting for Enterococcus species in addition to vancomycin resistance in order to provide a conservative estimate for the burden of VRE infections.
