Complete genomes of clinical enterococcus faecium isolates reveal pHTβ plasmid with vancomycin resistance, highlighting the role of plasmids in antimicrobial resistance.
Enterococcal conjugative plasmids play a key role in the widespread expansion of antimicrobial resistance genes among Enterococcus faecium via horizontal gene transfer. Herein, we report the complete genomes of clinical E. faecium isolates harboring pHTβ, a pMG1-like plasmid containing an inserted vancomycin resistance operon.
