Heterogeneity of the vanA gene cluster in clinical isolates of enterococci from the northeastern United States

1 Feb 1995

Abstract excerpt

In several strains of Enterococcus faecium isolated in Europe, the cluster of genes encoding high-level resistance to vancomycin (VanA phenotype) resides on a 10.85-kb transposon, Tn1546, or closely related elements. To determine whether Tn1546 was conserved in recent enterococcal isolates from the northeastern United States, seven strains were compared by restriction mapping and DNA hybridization with probes...
