The Fosfomycin Resistance Gene fosB3 Is Located on a Transferable, Extrachromosomal Circular Intermediate in Clinical Enterococcus faecium Isolates
29 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Some VanM-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates from China are also resistant to fosfomycin. To investigate the mechanism of fosfomycin resistance in these clinical isolates, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, filter-mating, Illumina/Solexa sequencing, inverse PCR and fosfomycin resistance gene cloning were performed. Three E. faecium clinical isolates were highly resistant to fosfomycin and...
