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.

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.
