Los complejos clonales de alto riesgo CC2 y CC9 están ampliamente representados en cepas hospitalarias de Enterococcus faecalis aisladas en España

High-risk complexes (CC2 and CC9) particularly adapted to the hospital environment were detected in Spain. Evolution of these CC in different areas depended on the local gene pool. Future infection control policies should be orientated to detect high-risk CC with the aim of predicting potential trends toward acquisition of specific resistance, such as to vancomycin.
