We found a high incidence of E faecium and a low incidence of MRSA and Pseudomonas bacteremias following ASCT in our patient population. Survival analysis in our cohort suggests that the effect of underlying disease status and cumulative chemotherapy is critically important in determining outcomes related to bacteremia. Enterococcal bacteremias following ASCT were associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality than non-enterococcal bacteremias.
