The Chicago Tribune reported in March 2004 that the US was building 14 " enduring " bases in Iraq , and the Washington Post reported in May that US forces would eventually be consolidated into four large , permanent air bases . This involved massive 3-D images being beamed back to Earth by the Spirit and Opportunity Mars Exploration Rovers and then projected on a curved display measuring 14 feet tall and 36 feet wide . In the United States they have become major nosocomial pathogens , rising in incidence from 0.3 % in 1989 to 7.9 % in 1993 as reported by the CDC ,1 and among patients in intensive-care units , now representing 14 % of blood culture isolates of enterococci.1 The rapid emergence of VRE in the United States has been attributed to the intensive clinical use of vancomycin in both parenteral and oral forms in that country ,2 on a background of high level usage of cephalosporins which promote enterococcal superinfection .
