A Novel Putative Enterococcal Pathogenicity Island Linked to theespVirulence Gene ofEnterococcus faeciumand Associated with Epidemicity

16 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecalis harbors a virulence-associated surface protein encoded by the esp gene. This gene has been shown to be part of a 150-kb putative pathogenicity island. A gene similar to esp has recently been found in Enterococcus faecium isolates recovered from hospitalized patients. In the present study we analyzed the polymorphism in the esp gene of E. faecium, and we investigated the association of esp...
