pSK41-Like Plasmid Is Necessary for Inc18-Like <i>vanA</i> Plasmid Transfer from Enterococcus faecalis to Staphylococcus aureus <i>In Vitro</i>
24 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) is thought to result from the in vivo conjugative transfer of a vanA plasmid from an Enterococcus sp. to S. aureus. We studied bacterial isolates from VRSA cases that occurred in the United States to identify microbiological factors which may contribute to this plasmid transfer. First, vancomycin-susceptible, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates from...
