www.lhch.nhs.uk › ct-findings-gp-letter-exampleEnterococci are bacteria or germs that are commonly found in the bowels of most people. There are many different species of enterococci, but only a few have the potential to cause infection. When they do cause an infection they are often treated with an antibiotic called vancomycin but sometimes the enterococci become resistant to vancomycin, in other words the vancomycin would not work against them. We call these vancomycin resistant enterococci or VRE.
