25 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background VanD is a rare type of vancomycin resistance worldwide. However, the host diversity of the vanD gene cluster and the structural similarity of their genomic islands are not well understood. Methods Three VanD-type Enterococcus faecium strains (AA620, AA622 and AA624) isolated from a Japanese patient who underwent vancomycin treatment in 2017 were analysed. This study utilized WGS analysis to...
