I had seen that CDC report on the nets earlier, but I have the same 
question that others do, how is the percent infection rates determined?

Is it xx% of all infections are VRE (inside or outside of ICU)

or 

Is it xx% of enterococci infections are VRE?

And are only nosocomial infections considered in the numerator and or 
denominator?
