Abstract
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), an important pathogen causing healthcare associated infection emerged and increased rapidly worldwide. Several measures have been implemented to control the spread of VRE. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of the annual hand hygiene promotion program (HHPP) and the active VRE surveillance (AS) on VRE infection/colonization incidence in a 2300-bed teaching hospital in Taiwan.
