Vancomycin‐resistant enterococci with vanA and vanB genes in Australian gulls

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2017
Summary This study is revealing the possible dissemination of vancomycin‐resistant enterococci (VRE) from humans into the wildlife. We studied silver gulls ( Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae ) in Australia as potential carriers and reservoirs of VRE with acquired vancomycin ...

The vanB Gene Confers Various Levels of Self-Transferable Resistance to Vancomycin in Enterococci

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993
Thirty-nine strains of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis resistant to vancomycin and susceptible to teicoplanin on disk susceptibility testing (phenotypic class B) were isolated in 15 hospitals in Europe and the United States. The MICs of vancomycin for these strains ranged from 4 to 1024 micrograms/mL.

Vancomycin-susceptible dairy and clinical enterococcal isolates carry vanA and vanB genes

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2007
A total of 109 enterococcal isolates from dairy food products and from human and dog infections, isolated in Portugal, and 26 type and reference strains of the genus Enterococcus were screened for vancomycin resistance. MIC values, both for vancomycin and teicoplanin, were determined. The genetic relatedness of isolates carrying either vanA and/or vanB
