VanG-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis strains isolated in Canada

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2006 Jun;50(6):2217-21. doi: 10.1128/AAC.01541-05.

Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis G1-0247 (vancomycin MIC, 16 microg/ml) was found to harbor a vanG operon 99% identical to the vanG operon in E. faecalis BM4518. E. faecalis N03-0233 (vancomycin MIC, 16 microg/ml) was found to harbor a novel vanG operon, vanG2, on an element in a different chromosomal location than the vanG-harboring elements in G1-0247 and BM4518.
