Emergence of Epidemic Multidrug-Resistant Enterococcus faecium from Animal and Commensal Strains

20 Aug 2013

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Enterococcus faecium, natively a gut commensal organism, emerged as a leading cause of multidrug-resistant hospital-acquired infection in the 1980s. As the living record of its adaptation to changes in habitat, we sequenced the genomes of 51 strains, isolated from various ecological environments, to understand how E. faecium emerged as a leading hospital pathogen. Because of the scale and diversity of...
