Abstract

ABSTRACTEnterococcus faecalisG1-0247 (vancomycin MIC, 16 μg/ml) was found to harbor a vanGoperon 99% identical to the vanGoperon in E. faecalisBM4518. E. faecalisN03-0233 (vancomycin MIC, 16 μg/ml) was found to harbor a novel vanGoperon, vanG2, on an element in a different chromosomal location than the vanG-harboring elements in G1-0247 and BM4518.
