20 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Vancomycin resistance is common in clinical isolates of the Gram-positive pathogen Enterococcus faecium. Among E. faecium strains, vancomycin resistance genes can be disseminated by plasmids with different host ranges and transfer efficiencies. Surveillance of resistance plasmids is critical to understanding...
