A Potential Virulence Gene,<i>hyl</i><sub>Efm</sub>, Predominates in<i>Enterococcus faecium</i>of Clinical Origin

1 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

An open reading frame (hyl(Efm)) with homologies to previously described hyaluronidase genes has been identified in nonstool isolates of Enterococcus faecium. E. faecium isolates (n=577) from diverse sources were screened for the presence of hyl(Efm) and esp(Efm), a putative virulence gene associated with epidemic E. faecium strains. The presence of esp(Efm) was roughly twice that of hyl(Efm), but both were found...
