VanB Phenotype-vanA Genotype Enterococcus faecium with Heterogeneous Expression of Teicoplanin Resistance

VanB Phenotype-vanA Genotype Enterococcus faecium with Heterogeneous Expression of Teicoplanin Resistance

Six VanB phenotype-vanA genotype isolates of Enterococcus faecium with heterogeneous expression of teicoplanin resistance which gave rise to an outbreak at a Korean tertiary care teaching hospital have IS1216V in the coding region of vanS. This could be the underlying cause of the VanB phenotype-van...

Zusammenfassung:Six VanB phenotype-vanA genotype isolates of Enterococcus faecium with heterogeneous expression of teicoplanin resistance which gave rise to an outbreak at a Korean tertiary care teaching hospital have IS1216V in the coding region of vanS. This could be the underlying cause of the VanB phenotype-vanA genotype with heterogeneous expression of teicoplanin resistance.
