Characterization of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis

T I Nicas et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1989 Jul.

Abstract

Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium 180, a clinical isolate from England, was studied. Resistance to vancomycin was transferable by conjugation to other enterococci. Expression of resistance was inducible and coincided with the appearance of a new membrane protein.
