Development of VRE carrier admissions compared with VRE first patient isolates at Regensburg University Hospital 2004–2010. This figure shows the development of the number of hospital stays of VREfm carriers at our institution (blue line) during the study period, the number of first VREfm isolates of each patient according to surveillance data (orange line) and the number of successfully sequenced first VREfm isolates of each patient (gray line). The proportion of successfully sequenced first patient isolates of all first patient isolates is depicted as well and reaches 81% over the study period with little variation over time
