Horizontal transfer of virulence genes encoded on the <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> pathogenicity island

13 Nov 2006

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecalis, a leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic resistant infections, frequently possesses a 150 kb pathogenicity island (PAI) that carries virulence determinants. The presence of excisionase and integrase genes, conjugative functions and multiple insertion sequence elements suggests that the PAI, or segments thereof, might be capable of horizontal transfer. In this report, the transfer of the E....
