Novel ABC Transporter Gene, <i>vga</i> (C), Located on a Multiresistance Plasmid from a Porcine Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> ST398 Strain
27 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
A novel ABC transporter gene, vga(C), was identified on the 14,365-bp multiresistance plasmid pKKS825 in a porcine methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate of sequence type 398. The vga(C) gene encodes a 523-amino-acid protein which confers resistance not only to streptogramin A antibiotics but also to lincosamides and pleuromutilins. Plasmid pKKS825 also carries the resistance genes aadD,...
