<i>van A</i> genes in vancomycin-resistant clinical isolates of <i>Oerskovia turbata and Arcanobacterium (<i>Corynebacterium</i>) haemolyticum</i>
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
We report the cloning and sequencing of vanA genes present in the high-level vancomycin- and teicoplanin-resistant clinical isolates Oerskovia turbata 892 and Arcanobacterium (Corynebacterium) haemolyticum 872. The presence of vanA was detected by Southern blotting and PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing. vanA-like sequences were encoded on plasmids of 15 and 20 kb respectively. The A. haemolyticum 872 DNA...
