Multi-locus sequencing typing (MLST) is widely used to monitor the phylogeny of microbial outbreaks. However, several strains of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) with a missing MLST locus (pstS) have recently emerged in Australia, with a few cases also reported in England. Here, we identified similarly distinct strains circulating in two neighbouring hospitals in Scotland.

- The draft genome of the type strain DSM41896 (ISP 5182) has been reported, revealing important genetic information.
- While initially classified within a certain clade, a detailed study indicated it is actually a distinct species due to differences in spore morphology and genetic sequencing.
- The genome sequence further supports its classification as a separate species, confirming the findings from the morphological and genetic analysis.
