Emergence of an Australian-like pstS-null vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium clone in Scotland.

Emergence of an Australian-like pstS-null vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium clone in Scotland.

Multi-locus sequencing typing (MLST) is widely used to monitor the phylogeny of microbial outbreaks. However, several strains of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) with a missing MLST locus (pstS) have recently emerged in Australia, with a few cases also reported in England.
