Summary:Highlights • Population data shows Enterococcus BSI disproportionally effect men and the elderly • The risk factors and outcomes for Enterococcus BSI differ depending on causative species • E. faecealis BSI is associated with a GU source, whereas E. faecium is often GI • E. faecium is often nosocomial, affecting those invalided and associated with higher mortality
