摘要：

A monthly follow-up evaluation of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus-colonized patients conducted during an outbreak in France revealed that carriage can persist for an extended period. Recurrence was observed despite as many as 3 negative cultures. As a result, we propose another definition for VRE clearance.
