VanA-Type Enterococci from Humans, Animals, and Food: Species Distribution, Population Structure, Tn 1546 Typing and Location, and Virulence Determinants
10 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
VanA-type human (n=69), animal (n=49), and food (n=36) glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) from different geographic areas were investigated to study their possible reservoirs and transmission routes. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed two small genetically related clusters, M39 (n=4) and M49 (n=13), representing Enterococcus faecium isolates from animal and human feces and from clinical and...
