<i>Enterococcus faecium</i> genome dynamics during long-term asymptomatic patient gut colonization

2019-02-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> E. faecium is a gut commensal of humans and animals. In addition, it has recently emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen through the acquisition of genetic elements that confer resistance to antibiotics and virulence. We performed a whole-genome sequencing based study on 96 multidrug-resistant E. faecium strains that asymptomatically colonized five patients with the aim to describe the g...
