The Need
VRE: A growing concern
The rapid and continuous increase in the percentage of VRE carriage in the EU/EEA is a cause for concern.2
The rapid and continuous increase in the percentage of VRE carriage in the EU/EEA is a cause for concern.2
- Infections and deaths attributable to VRE almost doubled between 2007-20152
- The population-weighted mean percentage for VRE increased from 10.5% in 2015 to 17.3% in 20182
- High resistance levels have been reported from all regions in Europe2
- VRE has a significant impact on patient length of stay, and in turn, hospitalization costs3
