Survival of hospital- and community-associated Enterococcus faecium following exposure to in-use concentrations of the biocide sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC)

•Enterococcus faecium survived 10 min exposure to 415 ppm of free available chlorine (NaDCC).•The susceptibility did not differ significantly between VREfm and VSEfm.•Shorter exposure and/or incubation time significantly affect the chance of survival.•Exposure time
