Diversity of Tn <i>1546</i> and Its Role in the Dissemination of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in Portugal

8 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

We characterized the molecular diversity of vanA vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE; 176 isolates/87 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis types) from different sources and cities in Portugal (1996 to 2004): (i) food animals (FA; n = 38 isolates out of 31 samples), hospitalized humans (HH; n = 101/101), healthy human volunteers (HV; n = 7/4), and environmental sources (n = 30/10). Some strains were isolated from...
