Heterogeneity in the vanB gene cluster of genomically diverse clinical strains of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 May 1999

Dahl K H, Simonsen G S, Olsvik O, Sundsfjord A

Abstract excerpt

Molecular analysis of 17 genomically unrelated clinical VanB-type vancomycin-resistant enterococcus isolates from hospital patients in Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States revealed three subtypes of the vanB gene cluster-vanB1, vanB2, and vanB3-which was in accordance with previous subtyping of the ligase gene sequence. There was no correlation between vanB subtype and levels of...
