Constitutive expression of the cryptic vanGCd operon promotes vancomycin resistance in Clostridioides difficile clinical isolates
9 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To describe, for the first time (to the best of our knowledge), the genetic mechanisms of vancomycin resistance in clinical isolates of Clostridioides difficile ribotype 027. METHODS: Clinical isolates and laboratory mutants were analysed: genomically to identify resistance mutations; by transcriptional analysis of vanGCd, the vancomycin resistance operon encoding lipid II d-alanine-d-serine that is...
