Application of DNA probes for rRNA and vanA genes to investigation of a nosocomial cluster of vancomycin-resistant enterococci

1 Mar 1993

Abstract excerpt

DNA probes specific for genes encoding rRNA and the glycopeptide resistance gene vanA were used to investigate a cluster of vancomycin-resistant (MICs, > 512 mg/liter) Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolated from separate patients in a renal unit in a London hospital. When digested with BamHI, 12 of 13 vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis isolates exhibited a common restriction fragment length...
