Fitness determinants of vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> during growth in human serum

2017-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecium is a commensal of the human gastrointestinal tract and a frequent cause of bloodstream infections in hospitalized patients. Here, we identify genes that contribute to growth of E. faecium in human serum. We first sequenced the genome of E. faecium E745, a vancomycin-resistant clinical isolate, to completion and then compared its transcriptome during exponential growth in rich medium and in h...
