Strains of glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium can alter their van genotypes during an outbreak.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Nov 1997

Woodford N, Chadwick P R, Morrison D, Cookson B D

Abstract excerpt

Two isolates of Enterococcus faecium with VanA glycopeptide resistance were isolated during a hospital outbreak of E. faecium with plasmid-mediated VanB resistance. Both were found to be identical to the VanB outbreak strain by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The genotype of this strain changed...
