Isolation of VanB-type Enterococcus faecalis Strains from Nosocomial Infections: First Report of the Isolation and Identification of the Pheromone-Responsive Plasmids pMG2200, Encoding VanB-type Vancomycin Resistance and a Bac41-Type Bacteriocin, and pMG2201, Encoding Erythromycin Resistance and Cytolysin (Hly/Bac)

PMID: 190293252009Japan

Key Findings

The study identifies the pheromone-responsive plasmids pMG2200 and pMG2201 in VanB-type Enterococcus faecalis strains, which encode vancomycin resistance (vanB2), a Bac41-type bacteriocin, erythromycin resistance, and cytolysin (Hly/Bac).
