Detection of vanA genes in vancomycin susceptible Enterococcus faecium isolates; implications for additional testing

2025-02-12

Abstract excerpt

To assess the frequency of silent vancomycin resistance, phenotypically susceptible Enterococcus faecium isolates underwent genotypic testing using Cepheid’s Xpert vanA/vanB PCR. 6% of isolates had silent vanA genes. However, the clinical relevance of silent van genes, and the lack of rapid, random-access genotypic methods poses an ongoing challenge to laboratories.
