A Novel Putative Enterococcal Pathogenicity Island Linked to the esp Virulence Gene of Enterococcus faecium and Associated with Epidemicity

Leavis, Helen, Top, Janetta, Shankar, Nathan, Borgen, Katrine, Bonten, Marc, Van Embden, Jan, ...

Enterococcus faecalis harbors a virulence-associated surface protein encoded by the esp gene. This gene has been shown to be part of a 150-kb putative pathogenicity island. A gene similar to esp has...

Emergence of Clonal Complex 17 Enterococcus faecium in The Netherlandsâ–ż

Top, Janetta, Willems, Rob, Van Der Velden, Saskia, Asbroek, Miranda, Bonten, Marc

The global emergence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium has been characterized as the clonal spread of clonal complex 17 (CC17) E. faecium. CC17 was defined upon multilocus sequence typing...
