Characterization of vanA-harboring plasmids supports differentiation of outbreak-related and sporadic vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in a tertiary care hospital
Abstract Background The prevention of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) infections and transmissions poses a major challenge to hospitals. Vancomycin resistance can be plasmid encoded; however, as the analysis of plasmids is challenging, so far only a few reports have provided a deta...
