| the first molecular analysis of clinical isolates of vana-type vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium strains in mainland china. | the aim of this study was to examine two vana-type vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium (vre) strains that had been isolated from patients resident in mainland china. this is the first molecular analysis of clinical vre strains being isolated in mainland china. | 2007 | 17718844 |
| a new tn1546 type of vanb phenotype-vana genotype vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium isolates in mainland china. | vanb phenotype-vana genotype vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium (vref) has never been reported in mainland china. we investigated the frequency and molecular characteristics of this strain in a beijing tertiary hospital. of 23 vana genotype vref clinical isolates, 12 (54.3%) were vanb phenotype-vana genotype. mutilocus sequence typing (mlst) analysis revealed that all isolates belong to a single clonal complex (cc78), which has been disseminated worldwide. based on mlst and pulsed-field g ... | 2009 | 19073301 |
| molecular characterisation of outbreak-related strains of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium from an intensive care unit in beijing, china. | we investigated an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium affecting 14 patients in a 20-bed intensive care unit (icu) between september 2006 and august 2007 (incidence: 3.56 cases per 1000 icu patient days). eighteen isolates of vana type e. faecium were analysed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, which showed 14 types overall. multilocus sequence typing (mlst) identified eight different sequence types (sts) (st78, st117, st203, st316, st362, st363, st364 and st365), including f ... | 2009 | 19339079 |
| nosocomial spread of hospital-adapted cc17 vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium in a tertiary-care hospital of beijing, china. | the incidence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) appeared to be increasing in china, but very few nosocomial outbreaks have been reported. our hospital had experienced an outbreak of vre since march 2008 to march 2009. the objective of this study was to analyze the molecular features of the isolates and the control measures used to eradicate a vre outbreak in a tertiary institution in china. | 2011 | 21362270 |
| genomic insights into the pathogenicity and environmental adaptability of enterococcus hirae r17 isolated from pork offered for retail sale. | genetic information about enterococcus hirae is limited, a feature that has compromised our understanding of these clinically challenging bacteria. in this study, comparative analysis was performed of e. hirae r17, a daptomycin-resistant strain isolated from pork purchased from a retail market in beijing, china, and three other enterococcal genomes (enterococcus faecium do, enterococcus faecalis v583, and e. hirae atcc(™) 9790). some 1,412 genes were identified that represented the core genome t ... | 2017 | 28799224 |
