Overview
Heterogeneity in the vanB gene cluster of genomically diverse clinical strains of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
The study identifies three subtypes of the vanB gene cluster (vanB1, vanB2, and vanB3) in vancomycin-resistant enterococci, highlighting their molecular heterogeneity and implications for diagnostic primer design and epidemiological tracking.
Characterization of transposon Tn1549, conferring VanB-type resistance in Enterococcus spp.
The study characterizes the transposon Tn1549, which confers VanB-type glycopeptide resistance in Enterococcus spp., highlighting the vanB2 operon as the key element responsible for vancomycin resistance.
Identification and characterization of vanB2 glycopeptide resistance elements in enterococci isolated in Scotland.
The study identifies and characterizes the vanB2 glycopeptide resistance element in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis isolates from Scotland, demonstrating its prevalence and genetic differences from vanB1.
High prevalence of VanB2 vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in Taiwan.
The study identified the vanB2 gene cluster as the primary cause of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium isolates in Taiwan, with sequence variations observed among the isolates.
Transferable vanB2 Tn5382-Containing Elements in Fecal Streptococcal Strains from Veal Calves.
The study identifies vanB2 Tn5382-containing elements in fecal streptococcal strains from veal calves, demonstrating their transferability and contribution to vancomycin resistance.
Transfer of vancomycin resistance transposon Tn1549 from Clostridium symbiosum to Enterococcus spp. in the gut of gnotobiotic mice.
The study demonstrates the transfer of the vancomycin resistance transposon Tn1549 from Clostridium symbiosum to Enterococcus spp. in the gut of gnotobiotic mice, highlighting the role of Tn1549 in the spread of vanB2-mediated glycopeptide resistance.
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)
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).
ICESluvan, a 94-kilobase mosaic integrative conjugative element conferring interspecies transfer of VanB-type glycopeptide resistance, a novel bacitracin resistance locus, and a toxin-antitoxin stabilization system.
The study identifies a 94-kb integrative conjugative element, ICE Slu van, which confers VanB-type glycopeptide resistance and a novel bacitracin resistance locus. It also includes a toxin-antitoxin system and components for conjugative transfer.
