Can the VRE patient room with another patient?
Yes, with another patient colonized or infected with VRE and no other current infections. While placement in a private room or with another VRE case is strongly preferred, if this is absolutely impossible, then placement must be with a resident who is not at increased risk for VRE infection (e.g., does not have vascular lines, catheters, ostomies, wounds, decubiti, etc.) and who has no history of MRSA or MRSE.
