Plasmids Shaped the Recent Emergence of the Major Nosocomial Pathogen Enterococcus faecium

Enterococcus faecium is one of the most frequent nosocomial pathogens of hospital-acquired infections. E. faecium has gained resistance against most commonly available antibiotics, most notably, against ampicillin, gentamicin, and vancomycin, which renders infections difficult to treat.
