Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a type of enterococci bacteria resistant to antibiotics especially vancomycin. Enterococci bacteria typically do not cause problems in healthy people but may cause infections (sometimes serious infections) to patients with weakened immune system in body sites such as the intestines, the urinary tract, and wounds. Because of the increasing resistance to antibiotics, VRE infections are much more difficult to treat than other enterococci infections and are becoming a major type of healthcare-associated infections.

Invasive burn wound sepsis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major concern in burn patient care settings. It is difficult to treat and may cause high mortality among patients with extensive burn wounds. Therefore, one primary goal of burn care is to prevent colonization and infection of P. aeruginosa. Patient colonization refers to the isolation of the targeted pathogen (organism) from the patient (e.g., sputum, wound surface, urine, and stool).
