VRE PCR is a laboratory test that detects vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE), a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics, typically through a swab sample from your skin or body. Your doctor might order this test if you're at risk for VRE infection, have symptoms of infection, or are being admitted to a hospital or care facility where screening is standard. The test involves collecting a sample (usually painless) and sending it to a lab, where technicians use molecular testing methods to identify whether VRE bacteria are present, with results typically available within a day or two.
