Vancomycin Resistance Plasmid in <b> <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> That Encodes Sensitivity to a Sex Pheromone Also Produced by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> </b>

1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

Plasmid-free (recipient) strains of Enterococcus faecalis secrete a number of peptide sex pheromones that act as mating (conjugation) signals to donor bacteria harboring certain conjugative plasmids. (See reference 4 for a recent review.) Upon acquisition of such a plasmid, the related pheromone production is shut down or masked; however, other peptides that act as pheromones specific for different families of...
