Introduction
Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) is a primary type of
hospital-acquired bacteria in the United States; however, it is rare in
Japan. In this study, we report a patient with VRE urinary tract
infection associated with bacteremia following continent urinary
diversion. In the field of urology, few studies have reported infection
with VRE. As there is a risk of in-hospital outbreak, this infectious
disease is clinically important.
