Linkage of erm (B) and aadE-sat4-aphA-3 in Multiple-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Isolates of Different Ecological Origins
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Enterococcus faecium shares its antibiotic resistance gene pool with various Gram-positive bacteria. A gene cluster aadE-sat4-aphA-3, which was first described in staphylococci, has been recently identified also in E. faecium. In staphylococci, this gene cluster was mostly integrated into the transposable element, Tn5405. We identified five different cluster types of Tn5405-like elements that were linked to...
