VanZ-like protein
Overview
The purine-utilizing bacterium Clostridium acidurici 9a: a genome-guided metabolic reconsideration.
The study identifies genes in Clostridium acidurici 9a that confer resistance to bacitracin, acriflavine, and azaleucine.
Vancomycin-Variable Enterococcal Bacteremia
The study reports a case of vancomycin-variable Enterococcus (VVE) bacteremia, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and treating VVE due to its ability to develop resistance to vancomycin despite initial susceptibility. The VVE isolates were found to possess the vanA gene, which is responsible for vancomycin resistance.
The controversial nature of the Weissella genus: technological and functional aspects versus whole genome analysis-based pathogenic potential for their application in food and health.
The study identified several antibiotic resistance genes in Weissella species, including fosB, mdt-fosB, mrp, vanZ, sul, tet, and drrC, which confer resistance to fosfomycin, methicillin, teicoplanin, sulfonamide, tetracycline, and daunorubicin respectively.

Chlorhexidine Induces VanA-Type Vancomycin Resistance Genes in Enterococci.
Chlorhexidine induces the expression of VanA-type vancomycin resistance genes in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis, including vanH, vanA, vanX, vanY, and vanZ, which are part of the vancomycin resistance gene cluster.
Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Bacillus sp. VT 712 Strain Isolated from the Duodenum of a Patient with Intestinal Cancer.
The complete genome sequence of Bacillus sp. VT 712 reveals several antibiotic resistance genes, including those encoding resistance to vancomycin (vanZ, vanB, vanW), tetracycline (tet(A)), fosfomycin (fosB), multidrug resistance efflux pumps (including acrB), beta-lactamases, and the quaternary ammonium compound resistance protein sugE.
Examination of the Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile VanZ ortholog, CD1240.
The study characterizes the vanZ1 gene in Clostridioides difficile, demonstrating that it contributes to low-level teicoplanin resistance but does not significantly impact resistance to vancomycin or other cell surface-acting antimicrobials.
Examination of the Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile VanZ ortholog, CD1240.
VanZ Reduces the Binding of Lipoglycopeptide Antibiotics to Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae Cells.
Expression of vanZ from Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus pneumoniae reduces susceptibility to lipoglycopeptide antibiotics by decreasing their binding to bacterial cell surfaces.
Phylogenomic analysis of Clostridioides difficile ribotype 106 strains reveals novel genetic islands and emergent phenotypes.
The study identifies a novel 46 kb genomic island (GI1) in Clostridioides difficile ribotype 106 strains, which includes a gene encoding a VanZ family protein associated with teicoplanin resistance.
Long-read metagenomics using PromethION uncovers oral bacteriophages and their interaction with host bacteria.
The study identifies numerous oral phages and prophages, including those with remote homologs of antimicrobial resistance genes such as drrA, beta-lactamase superfamily domains, metallo-beta-lactamase domain proteins, vanZ, and multidrug-resistant proteins.
Specific Inhibition of VanZ-Mediated Resistance to Lipoglycopeptide Antibiotics.
The study identified vanZ as a gene that mediates resistance to teicoplanin, and a benzimidazole derivative called G3K was shown to specifically inhibit VanZ-mediated resistance to teicoplanin in vivo.
In Silico Characterisation of Putative Prophages in Lactobacillaceae Used in Probiotics for Vaginal Health.
The study identified several putative antimicrobial resistance genes within prophages of Lactobacillaceae, including vanZ, bla, and aph, which were analyzed for their potential role in resistance mechanisms.
Characterization of Bifidobacterium asteroides Isolates.
The study identified the presence of a putative vanZ gene in Bifidobacterium asteroides BA15 and BA17 strains, suggesting potential involvement in vancomycin resistance. No antibiotic resistance genes were found in the genomes of the strains.
How Streptococcus suis escapes antibiotic treatments.
The study characterizes various AMR genes and mutations in Streptococcus suis, highlighting resistance to beta-lactams, macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramins, amphenicols, pleuromutilins, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, and fluoroquinolones.
Functional Analysis of Hypothetical Proteins of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Reveals the Presence of Virulence Factors and Growth-Related Enzymes With Therapeutic Potential.
The study identifies several hypothetical proteins in Vibrio parahaemolyticus that are associated with antibiotic resistance, including MFS transporters, PACE efflux transporter, GNAT family N-acetyltransferases, and VanZ, which confer resistance to multiple antibiotics and glycopeptides.
Clostridioides difficile in South American Camelids in Germany: First Insights into Molecular and Genetic Characteristics and Antimicrobial Resistance.
The study identified several AMR genes and mutations in C. difficile isolates from South American camelids in Germany, including bla_CDD-1, vanZ1, aadE, tet(M), tet(40), vanG, vanR, vanS, vanT, and mutations in gyrA and gyrB associated with fluoroquinolone resistance.
Unveiling community structure, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence factor of a wastewater sample of dairy farm located in mayurbhanj, odisha, india.
The study identified several antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in a dairy wastewater sample, including beta-lactamases, aminoglycoside acetyltransferases, tetracycline resistance proteins, quinolone resistance proteins, and macrolide ribosome methyltransferases. These genes were found in various bacterial species such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
