Association between the vanB2 glycopeptide resistance operon and Tn1549 in enterococci from France

A. Umeda*, F. Garnier§, P. Courvalin and M. Galimand

Unité des Agents Antibactériens, Institut Pasteur, 25 rue du Docteur Roux, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, France

Received 22 January 2002; returned 17 April 2002; revised 24 April 2002; accepted 30 April 2002

Linkage between the vanB2 gene cluster and transposon Tn1549 was found in clonally unrelated VanB-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. strains isolated in France. The transposon was chromosomally located or plasmid borne.
