The vanB2 gene cluster of the majority of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates from Taiwan is associated with the pbp5 gene and is carried by Tn5382 containing a novel insertion sequence.

Abstract

Thirty-two vanB2 Enterococcus faecium isolates were found to harbor Tn5382. Twenty-four isolates had a 1,419-bp sequence inserted within the open reading frame (ORF) C of Tn5382. This 1,419-bp sequence contained a 638-bp ORF with a 72% amino acid sequence homology with the transposase gene of IS150. Thirty isolates had the pbp5 gene linked to Tn5382.
