Environmental contamination with vancomycin-resistant enterococci from hospital sewage in Portugal.

Carla Novais1, Teresa M Coque, Helena Ferreira, João Carlos Sousa, Luisa Peixe.   

Abstract

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were detected in samples of sewage obtained downstream of hospitals of the Porto area in Portugal, and in samples from the Douro Estuary. Clonal analysis, Tn1546 typing, and presence of putative virulence traits indicate the clinical origin of these isolates. This observation highlights the importance of hospital sewage in the VRE contamination of the environment.
