  • Title: Transferable, plasmid-mediated vanB-type glycopeptide resistance in Enterococcus faecium.
    Author: Rice LB, Carias LL, Donskey CL, Rudin SD.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1998 Apr; 42(4):963-4. PubMed ID: 9559822.
    Abstract:
    An approximately 60-kb transferable, vanB-carrying plasmid has been identified in a clinical Enterococcus faecium strain. A similar plasmid has been observed in an unrelated E. faecium strain, suggesting that plasmid transfer of vanB operons occurs in nature and plays a role in the dissemination of VanB-type resistance among strains of E. faecium.
