Genomic surveillance of vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> reveals spread of a linear plasmid conferring a nutrient utilization advantage

2021-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Healthcare-associated outbreaks of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) are a worldwide problem with increasing prevalence. The genomic plasticity of this hospital-adapted pathogen contributes to its efficient spread despite infection control measures. Here, we aimed to identify the genomic and phenotypic determinants of healthcare-associated transmission of VREfm. We assessed the VREfm transmission...
