Extensive Comparative Genomic Analysis of <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> Reveals a Direct Association between the Absence of CRISPR–Cas Systems, the Presence of Anti-Endonuclease (ardA) and the Acquisition of Vancomycin Resistance in <i>E. faecium</i>

Extensive Comparative Genomic Analysis of <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> Reveals a Direct Association between the Absence of CRISPR–Cas Systems, the Presence of Anti-Endonuclease (ardA) and the Acquisition of Vancomycin Resistance in <i>E. faecium</i>

Here, we performed a comparative genomic analysis of all available genomes of <i>E. faecalis</i> (<i>n</i> = 1591) and <i>E. faecium</i> (<i>n</i> = 1981) and investigated the association between the presence or absence of CRISPR-Cas systems, endonucle...
