Genetic diversity of Tn1546-like elements in clinical isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

International journal of antimicrobial agents - 1 Jun 2008

Sung Kidon, Khan Saeed A, Nawaz Mohamed S

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the genetic diversity of Tn1546 among 17 vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) isolates of Enterococcus faecium. Most of these multidrug-resistant strains harboured plasmids of 2 kb to >300 kb in size. The vancomycin resistance marker vanA was located on both the plasmid and the chromosomal DNA. VRE isolates 18 and 22 failed to amplify the orf1-IR(R) and orf2-IR(R) but contained the orf1 and...
