  • Title: Genetics of glycopeptide resistance in gram-positive pathogens.
    Author: Courvalin P.
    Journal: Int J Med Microbiol; 2005 Mar; 294(8):479-86. PubMed ID: 15790292.
    Abstract:
    Glycopeptide resistance in enterococci, first detected in 1986, has since spread worldwide and represents a major health problem. Importantly, it has been recently acquired by Staphylococcus aureus. We shall review the genetics which accounts for this successful dissemination and discuss the possible origins of the resistance genes.
