Abstract excerpt

The C-terminal region of the pbp5 gene was sequenced in 11 ampicillin-resistant and 5 ampicillin-susceptible Enterococcus faecium isolates of animal origin, and compared with a pbp5 reference sequence (GenBank accession no. X84860). Eight different pbp5 alleles (designated A-H) were detected when amino acid changes in the region 461-629 were considered. Three of these alleles (A-C) were detected in...
