Evolution and mutations predisposing to daptomycin resistance in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium ST736 strains.

Evolution and mutations predisposing to daptomycin resistance in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium ST736 strains.

We recently identified a novel vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) clone ST736 with reduced daptomycin susceptibility. The objectives of this study were to assess the population dynamics of local VREfm strains and genetic alterations predisposing to daptomycin resistance in VREfm ST736...
