DNA Banding Pattern Polymorphism in Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> and Criteria for Defining Strains
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
The degree of DNA banding pattern polymorphism exhibited by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREM) strains isolated on a renal unit over an 11-month period was investigated. Thirty VREM strains from different patients were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE; with extended run and optimal pulse times), ribotyping, plasmid profile analysis, biotyping, pyrolysis mass spectrometry, and...
