Abstract
Objective: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are responsible for a considerable amount of healthcare-associated infections. In this study, we investigated the ability of three probiotic organisms to eliminate VRE colonization or protect against gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium-induced injury in a rat model.
