We investigated genomic evolution Ceramic Fuse of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) during an outbreak in Shenzhen, China.Whole-genome sequencing revealed 2 sequence type 80 VREF subpopulations diverging through insertion sequence–mediated recombination.One subpopulation acquired Basketball - Clothing - Womens more antimicrobial resistance and carbohydrate metabolism genes.

Persistent VREF transmission underscores the need for genomic surveillance to curb spread.
