Abstract
•The majority of enterococcal isolates were not routinely characterised to the species level.•Vancomycin resistance was 4.8% amongst all enterococcal isolates combined. In the Colonial War Memorial Hospital vancomycin resistance among the subset identified to the species level was 17.2% in E. faeciumand 2.4% in E. faecalisisolates.•All tested vancomycin resistance enterococci isolates expressed vanAgene.•Enhanced phenotypic and molecular surveillance are needed to better understand enterococci epidemiology in Fiji.
