First report of regional spreading and long-term inhabitation of VanD-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis clinical strains: A proposal of new classification of vanD gene subtypes

Objective: VanD-type vancomycin resistance is rarely reported in Enterococcus faecalis. This study aimed to characterise five VanD-type vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis strains isolated over 8 years from three hospitals in a local city in Japan, with a focus on resistance mechanisms, genetic backgro...
