Detection of an unusual van genotype in a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium hospital isolate.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

We highlight the detection of a rare vanM genotype in Enterococcus faecium. This isolate exhibited a VanB phenotype, with high levels of resistance to vancomycin (MIC, >256 mg/liter) and susceptibility to teicoplanin (MIC, 1 mg/liter). It was, however, vanB negative by PCR. Further screening for...
