Subject: [asid-ozbug] Global variances in infection control practices for VRE

Earlier this year David Gordon (I think) reinvigourated an old thread about what everyone does for VRE in terms of infection control. My trainee Heather and I made up a survey monkey and sent it to many of you from this list serv and also internationally. It seemed to catch on and we obtained 235 responses from institutions in 48 countries. Seems many were interested in the answer. The variation in practices could hardly be greater and I attach the link here for those interested.

Contributions like this were born out of ozbug! So thanks to all who helped out with the survey and thanks again Ashley!!
