Transferable, plasmid-mediated vanB-type glycopeptide resistance in Enterococcus faecium.

L B Rice1, L L Carias, C L Donskey, S D Rudin.   

Abstract

An approximately 60-kb transferable, vanB-carrying plasmid has been identified in a clinical Enterococcus faecium strain. A similar plasmid has been observed in an unrelated E. faecium strain, suggesting that plasmid transfer of vanB operons occurs in nature and plays a role in the dissemination of VanB-type resistance among strains of E. faecium.
