Abstract

Presents a study that described the variations within the structure of the pathogenicity island in vancomycin-resistant isolates on Enterococcus faecalis in the U.S. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences coding for the cytolysin operon and a surface protein in two strains of E. faecalis; Similarities in the nucleotide sequences of the genome of E. faecalis isolates; Examination of the traits found in the pathogenicity island of E. faecalis.
