Novel vancomycin resistance gene cluster in Enterococcus faecium ST1486, Belgium, June 2021
9 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
We identified a novel van gene cluster in a clinical Enterococcus faecium isolate with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 µg/mL. The ligase gene, vanP, was part of a van operon cluster of 4,589 bp on a putative novel integrative conjugative element located in a ca 98 kb genomic region presumed to be acquired by horizontal gene transfer from Clostridium scidens and Roseburia sp. 499.
