A Phenotypically Silent vanB2 Operon Carried on a Tn 1549 -Like Element in Clostridium difficile

11 Aug 2016

Abstract excerpt

In the last decade, Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has reached an epidemic state with increasing incidence and severity in both health care and community settings. Vancomycin is an important first-line therapy for CDI, and the emergence of resistance would have significant clinical consequences. In this study, we describe for the first time a vanB2 vancomycin resistance operon in C. difficile, isolated...
