vanA-containing Enterococcus faecium susceptible to vancomycin and teicoplanin because of major nucleotide deletions in Tn1546

15 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: During the course of routine screening for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), we found six Enterococcus faecium isolates positive for vanA by PCR, but susceptible to vancomycin and teicoplanin by phenotypic testing. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic composition of the Tn1546 vanA gene cluster of these isolates. METHODS: The E. faecium isolates were characterized by antibiotic...
