Résumé

In Ontario, Canada, since 2012, some hospitals discontinued contact precautions for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). Between 2009 and 2018, there was an associated rise in VRE bloodstream infections in hospitals where contact precautions were discontinued but not in hospitals that maintained contact precautions. These data suggest contact precautions are important for hospital VRE control programs.
