AI Article Synopsis
- * This strain showed moderate resistance to vancomycin (MIC, 16 μg/mL) but remained sensitive to teicoplanin (MIC, 1 μg/mL).
- * The gene organization of plasmid pEF-D was very similar to other known conjugative plasmids, and the calculated conjugation frequency for JH5687 was between 10^(-1) to 10^(-3) per donor cell.
Article Abstract
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium carrying the gene on plasmid pEF-D was isolated from a fecal sample of a hospitalized patient in Japan. The strain JH5687 showed moderate resistance to vancomycin (MIC, 16 μg/mL) but remained susceptible to teicoplanin (MIC, 1 μg/mL). The backbone gene organization of pEF-D was highly homologous to that of conjugative plasmid pMG1 or pHTβ. The calculated conjugation frequency of JH5687 was 10 to 10 per donor cell.
