Novel Multidrug-Resistant Enterococcal Mobile Linear Plasmid pELF1 Encoding vanA and vanM Gene Clusters From a Japanese Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci Isolate
12 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin resistant enterococci is one of troublesome pathogens in clinical settings because of few treatment options. A VanA/VanM-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium clinical isolate was identified in Japan. This strain, named AA708, harbored five plasmids. One of these plasmids migrated in the gel without S1 nuclease treatment, which was indicative of linear topology. We named this plasmid pELF1....
