Epidemiological trends and susceptibility patterns of bloodstream infections caused by Enterococcus spp. in six German university hospitals: a prospectively evaluated multicentre cohort study from 2016 to 2020 of the R-Net study group.

Despite local differences, an overall trend towards a predominance of E. faecium in enterococcal BSI (primarily driven by the increase of VRE BSI) was evident, which is in contrast to an earlier study from 2012 indicating E. faecalis as causative pathogen in 60–95% of enterococcal BSI in German or European hospitals [ 19 – 21 ].
