Tandem amplification of the vanM gene cluster drives vancomycin resistance in vancomycin-variable enterococci
20 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vancomycin-variable enterococci (VVE) are a potential risk factor for vancomycin resistance gene dissemination and clinical treatment failure. vanM has emerged as a new prevalent resistance determinant among clinical enterococci in China. A total of 54 vancomycin-susceptible enterococci (VSE) isolates carrying incomplete vanM gene clusters were isolated in our previous study. OBJECTIVES: To determine...
