Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assemble a multicenter prospective cohort of patients with enterococcal bloodstream infections (BSIs) to provide data on outcomes of patients with enterococcal BSIs for sample size calculations for future trials, as well as to characterize enterococcal isolates causing BSIs in order to comprehensively dissect the molecular epidemiology of infecting organisms for future studies.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
All-cause, in-hospital mortality
Death by any cause while patient is in the hospital
30 days or until hospital discharge
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Number of participants with microbiological outcome
7 days after first documented positive blood culture
Number of participants with recurrence of bacteremia
14 days after the documented eradication of bacteremia
Study Arms (1)
Patients with enterococcal bloodstream infections
Adult patients (≥ 18 years of age) with ≥ 1 positive blood cultures with Enterococcus during hospitalization and who have repeat blood culture(s) within 7 days from the first positive culture will be included.
Eligibility Criteria
Hospitalized patients
You may qualify if:
- Hospitalized patient
- ≥1 positive blood culture with Enterococcus spp. (VRE or VSE) during hospitalization
- bacterial isolate(s) is/are available for further characterization
- Repeat blood culture(s) within 7 days from the first positive culture
You may not qualify if:
- Cultures obtained from patients not admitted to the hospital
- Isolate(s) not available for further studies.

Biospecimen
Enterococcal isolates from index and subsequent blood cultures will be collected by the research personnel from the clinical microbiology lab. Bacterial isolates will be processed by conventional laboratory methods at each institution. Isolates will be stored at -80º Celsius using local laboratory standards until shipment to central laboratory (UTHealth) for storage and further characterization.
