Molecular analysis of diverse elements mediating VanA glycopeptide resistance in enterococci
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Differences were examined among 24 distinct elements mediating VanA-type glycopeptide resistance in enterococci isolated from hospital patients and non-human sources in the UK. The methods used included long-PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (L-PCR RFLP) analysis and DNA hybridization. All elements had conserved vanRSHAX genes, but variation occurred upstream of vanR and downstream of vanX. Twenty-one...
