Abstract

Sir, Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) are increasingly important healthcare associated pathogens. The incidence of infection and colonisation with these organisms has risen significantly both in Australia1 and around the world. Interestingly, there have been rare reports describing isolates of Enterococcus that both require and are dependent on vancomycin for growth.
