AB  - After controlling an epidemic of vanB-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus 
      faecium (VRE), we contained a subsequent vanA E faecium outbreak by using 
      prospective laboratory-based surveillance, placing patients with VRE in private 
      rooms, requiring the use of both gowns and gloves by all personnel entering the 
      patients' rooms, and conducting prevalence surveys of patients on affected wards.
