Abstract:
In the United States, vanB -mediated resistance in enterococci is rare. We characterized three sequence type (ST) 6, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis isolates causing bacteremia in unique patients in spatiotemporally distinct settings. Isolates were recovered between 2018 and 2020 in two cities in the United States (Houston, TX; Miami, FL). The isolates harbored the vanB operon on a chromosomally located Tn 1549 transposon, and epidemiological data suggested multiple introductions of the vanB gene cluster into ST6 E. faecalis .
