Genomes of a major nosocomial pathogen <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> are shaped by adaptive evolution of the chromosome and plasmidome

2019-01-26

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecium is a gut commensal of many mammals but is also recognized as a major nosocomial human pathogen, as it is listed on the WHO global priority list of multi-drug resistant organisms. Previous research has suggested that nosocomial strains have multiple zoonotic origins and are only distantly related to those involved in human commensal colonization. Here we present the first comprehensive populati...
