Vancomycin-resistant enterococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci prevalence among patients attending at Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia

Background<br> Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) and vancomycin resistance coagulase negative<br> staphylococci (VRCoNS) are common pathogens causing difficult to treat health care associated infections (HAI). Hence, the World Health Organization listed VRE as one of the high<br> priority pathogens for new antibiotic discovery and antimicrobial resistance surveillance.<br> Despite this, data on the prevalence of VRE and VRCoNS in Ethiopia is scarce. Thus, the<br> present study determined prevalence of VRE and VRCoNS among patients attending<br> Felege-Hiwot comprehensive specialized hospital, Ethiopia.<br>
