Abstract excerpt

The polymorphism in pbp5 gene was investigated in nine unrelated clinical gentamicin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains with different minimal-inhibitory-concentration values for ampicillin (six ampicillin-resistant and three ampicillin-susceptible). Five alleles were detected when the pbp5 C-terminal region was analysed, two of them in the ampicillin-resistant strains showed a new allele characterised by the...
