Abstract excerpt
AIMS: In this study, the molecular diversity among clones of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium with vanA gene (VRE) is investigated. The aims were to better understand why one clone is predominant in Swedish broiler production and to better assess the potential for zoonotic gene transfer from the different clones. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-six isolates were separated into 11 clones. Vancomycin...
