Abstract excerpt
An intrinsic low-level vancomycin resistance (VanC phenotype) in Enterococcus casseliflavus is conferred by either of two subtypes of vanC genes, that is, vanC-2 or vanC-3, which are genetically closely related. To know genetic diversity of vanC-2/C-3 genes among E. casseliflavus, nucleotide sequ...
