ABSTRACT
IMPORTANCE The proportion of VREfm among all Enterococcus faecium isolated from blood cultures in German hospitals has increased in the period 2015-2020 from 11.9% to 22.3% with a country-wide spread of the clonal lineage ST117/CT71 vanB. In this study, we provided useful information about the genetic diversity of invasive strains of E. faecium. Moreover, our findings confirm the nosocomial spread of novel ST1299 vanA lineages, which recently had a rapid expansion in Austria and the south-eastern part of Germany.
