摘要：
Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) is one of the core components of enterococci and causes serious illnesses in the elderly and immunocompromised patients. Due to its adaptive traits and antibiotic resistance, E. faecium has evolved as a worldwide hospital -associated pathogen, especially vancomsycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm). Pneumonia caused by VREfm is quite rare in clinical settings, and optimal treatment has not yet been determined. Here, we present a case of nosocomial VREfm pneumonia with lung cavitation following adenovirus infection, which was successfully treated with linezolid and contezolid.
