    Abstract:
    Antibiotics have been the treatment of choice for a broad range of bacterial infections for decades. In recent years, however, concern has been growing over the increasing incidence of infections that are resistant to known antibiotics. A 1995 outbreak of ampicillin- and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) at the 3Y site of the McMaster University Medical Centre brought this concern home to us and resulted in the development of outbreak-management guidelines for VRE.
