Vre, is it likely to come from a respiratory infection or more likely to come from perforations in bowel with abcesses, i had both?

VRE: Enterococci live in our intestines and on our skin, usually without causing problems. They can cause serious infections, especially in people who are ill or weak. These infections can occur anywhere in the body. Some common sites include the intestines, the urinary tract, and wounds, and if one had to guess, your organism came from the bowel. Hope you are better.

From the bowel: Enterococci bacteria normally reside in the intestines. People who have been hospitalized, who have had major surgery or who have had multiple treatments with antibiotics can develop Vancomycin resistant Enterococci(VRE). VRE infections may be difficult to cure because the bacteria do not respond to many antibiotics. SEE:http://bit.ly/1wSw344
