VanB transposon analysis detects horizontal gene transfer in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium: description of two outbreaks
Real-time analysis of transposons containing vancomycin resistance genes provides additional information for analysis of vanB-VRE outbreaks. It detects possible horizontal gene transfer which would not be detected using conventional methods. Transposon analysis is a valuable addition to whole-genome sequence analysis during vanB-VRE outbreaks.
