Pyrosequencing-based comparative genome analysis of the nosocomial pathogen Enterococcus faecium and identification of a large transferable pathogenicity island

1 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecium is an important cause of nosocomial infections in immunocompromized patients. RESULTS: We present a pyrosequencing-based comparative genome analysis of seven E. faecium strains that were isolated from various sources. In the genomes of clinical isolates several antibiotic resistance genes were identified, including the vanA transposon that confers...
