Highly Conjugative pMG1-Like Plasmids Carrying Tn1546-Like Transposons That Encode Vancomycin Resistance in Enterococcus faecium

A total of 12 VanA-type vancomycin-resistant enterococci, consisting of 10 Enterococcus faecium isolates and two Enterococcus avium isolates, were examined in detail. The vancomycin resistance conjugative plasmids pHTα (65.9 kbp), pHTβ (63.7 kbp), and pHTγ (66.5 kbp) were isolated from each of three...
