Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecalis is a leading cause of nosocomial infections and is known for its ability to acquire and transfer virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants from other organisms. A 150-kb pathogenicity island (PAI) encoding several genes that contribute to pathogenesis was identified among antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates. In the current study, we examined the structure of the PAI in a collection...
