Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to carry out a comparative analysis of the occurrence of sequence types, genotypes, and virulence genes of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolated from humans, domestic animals, and wildlife from eastern Poland. The genetic correlation of strains was determined using multilocus sequence typing, and the method of Amplification of DNA fragments Surrounding Rare Restriction Sites....
