Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a type of enterococci bacteria resistant to antibiotics especially vancomycin. Enterococci bacteria typically do not cause problems in healthy people but may cause infections (sometimes serious infections) to patients with weakened immune system in body sites such as the intestines, the urinary tract, and wounds. Because of the increasing resistance to antibiotics, VRE infections are much more difficult to treat than other enterococci infections and are becoming a major type of healthcare-associated infections.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an occupational hazard for healthcare workers. It is a bacterial infection of lungs and other body parts caused by strains of mycobacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Typical symptoms include chronic cough with bold-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and so on. Tuberculosis can cause significant morbidity and death. It is usually spread by air when infected people transmit their saliva through air by coughing and sneezing.
