Characterization of a multidrug resistance plasmid from Enterococcus faecium that harbours a mobilized bcrABDR locus

16 Oct 2014

Abstract excerpt

Sir, Over the past two decades, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium have developed to be the leading causes of life-threatening hospital-acquired infection worldwide.1,2 Bacitracin, a polypeptide antibiotic, is used as a topical application in human medicine and also for prophylaxis and therapy in food animals in China. Previous studies showed that an ABC transporter gene locus bcrABDR conferred...
