    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health issue, with millions of deaths projected due to AMR by 2050.

  • 2

    Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VR-Efm) is a major cause of healthcare-associated infections, leading to increased mortality and healthcare costs.

  • 3

    This study analyzed VR-Efm and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) trends in a tertiary care hospital in China from 2019 to 2025.

  • 4

    The research aimed to assess the correlation between the incidence of VR-Efm and MRSA and the consumption of vancomycin and linezolid.

  • 5

    Findings from this study will inform infection control policies and antimicrobial stewardship strategies in healthcare settings.
