This high salt concentration prevents the growth of gram negative bacteria (those without the outer wall) as it causes them to become dehydrated and die. [sciencing.com]

If you do have VRE, you can help prevent transmission to others by letting your doctor know. Hospitals can use special precautions to help prevent the infection from spreading to other patients. [healthline.com]
