Intra- and interspecies genomic transfer of the Enterococcus faecalis pathogenicity island.

PloS one - 29 Apr 2011

Laverde Gomez Jenny A, Hendrickx Antoni P A, Willems Rob J, Top Janetta, Sava Irina, Huebner Johannes, Witte Wolfgang, Werner Guido

Abstract excerpt

Enterococci are the third leading cause of hospital associated infections and have gained increased importance due to their fast adaptation to the clinical environment by acquisition of antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity traits. Enterococcus faecalis harbours a pathogenicity island (PAI) of...
