Molecular Analysis of Human, Porcine, and Poultry Enterococcus faecium Isolates and Their erm (B) Genes
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Fifty-nine erm(B)-positive Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from pigs, broilers, and humans were typed using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and the coding sequence of the erm(B) gene was determined. Identical erm(B) gene sequences were detected in genetically unrelated isolates. Furthermore, genetically indistinguishable strains were found to contain different erm(B) alleles. This may suggest that...
