Enterococci of animal origin and their significance for public health.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - 1 Jul 2012

Hammerum A M

Abstract excerpt

Enterococci are commensal bacteria in the intestines of humans and animals, but also cause infections in humans. Most often, Enterococcus faecium isolates from clinical outbreaks belong to different types than E. faecium from animals, food, and humans in the community. The same variants of the vanA gene cluster (Tn1546) encoding vancomycin resistance can be detected in enterococci of both human and animal origin....
