Temporal distribution of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) isolates (n = 222) collected from patients at the Royal Hobart Hospital from 2014–2016. Each horizontal bar represents the period of time between patient hospital admission and VREfm sample collection. The selection criteria of VREfm isolates for whole-genome sequencing were based on the temporal overlap (vertical silver columns) of clinical isolates (red bars with*) (n = 16) with vanB screening VREfm isolates (blue bars). Also included in this study were VREfm isolates that tested positive for the vanA locus (green bars) (n = 34).
