comparison of multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in a setting of polyclonal endemicity of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium.in order to assess whether multiple-locus-variable number tandem repeat analysis (mlva) could replace pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) for genotyping vancomycin-resistant isolates of enterococcus faecium (vref), this study compared the typeability, discriminatory power, concordance and costs of these methods for vref isolates obtained from patients, environmental samples and the hands of healthcare workers (hcws) in a medical intensive care unit (icu) where vref was endemic. over a 58-day ...200818261124
