Genetic Linkage and Cotransfer of a Novel, vanB-Containing Transposon (Tn5382) and a Low-Affinity Penicillin-Binding Protein 5 Gene in a Clinical Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Isolate

Mechanisms for the intercellular transfer of VanB-type vancomycin resistance determinants and for the almost universal association of these determinants with those for high-level ampicillin resistance remain poorly defined. We report the discovery of Tn5382, a ca. 27-kb putative transposon encoding...
