CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing in vancomycin resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>

2019-08-24

Abstract excerpt

The Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecium is becoming increasingly prevalent as a cause of hospital-acquired, antibiotic-resistant infections. There is thus an urgent need to mechanistically characterize the traits that contribute to the emergence of E. faecium as a multidrug resistant opportunistic pathogen. A fundamental part of research into E. faecium biology relies on the ability to generate targete...
