  • Title: Indication of transposition of a mobile DNA element containing the vat(D) and erm(B) genes in Enterococcus faecium.
    Author: Hammerum AM, Flannagan SE, Clewell DB, Jensen LB.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2001 Nov; 45(11):3223-5. PubMed ID: 11600385.
    Abstract:
    The vat(D) and erm(B) genes encoding streptogramin resistance in Enterococcus faecium transferred together, and a direct physical link between erm(B) and vat(D) was detected. Both the vat(D) and erm(B) probes hybridized to fragments of different sizes in the donor and transconjugants, which indicated a transposition event.
