Genetic Organization and Mode of Action of a Novel Bacteriocin, Bacteriocin 51: Determinant of VanA-Type Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium

Bacteriocin 51 (Bac 51) is encoded on the mobile plasmid pHY (6,037 bp), which was isolated from vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium VRE38. Bacteriocin 51 is active against E. faecium, E. hirae, and E. durans. Sequence analysis of pHY showed that it encodes nine open reading frames (ORFs) from...
