Distribution of Insertion Sequences Associated with Tn 1546 -Like Elements among Enterococcus faecium Isolates from Patients in Korea
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
The vanA gene cluster is carried as a part of Tn1546-like elements. The genetic diversity in Tn1546-like elements has been documented previously. The differences described thus far have included the integration of insertion sequence (IS) elements IS1216V, IS1251, IS1476, and IS1542. Among these, IS1216V has been reported to be widespread in VanA enterococci of diverse geographic areas, whereas IS1542 and IS1476...
