Cotransfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and a hyl(Efm)-Containing Virulence Plasmid in Enterococcus faecium

The hyl(Efm) gene (encoding a putative hyaluronidase) has been found almost exclusively in Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates, and recently, it was shown to be on a plasmid which increased the ability of E. faecium strains to colonize the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, the results of mati...
