Complete genomes of clade A1 and B <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> isolates harboring pHTβ, a <i>vanA</i> -type vancomycin-resistant pMG1-like plasmid
Enterococcal conjugative plasmids play a key role in the widespread expansion of antimicrobial resistance genes among <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> via horizontal gene transfer. Herein, we report the complete genomes of clinical <i>E. faecium</i> isolates harboring pHTβ, a pMG1-like plasmid containing an inserted vancomycin resistance operon.
