Association between the vanB2 glycopeptide resistance operon and Tn1549 in enterococci from France.
Linkage between the vanB2 gene cluster and transposon Tn1549 was found in clonally unrelated VanB-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp. strains isolated in France. The transposon was chromosomally located or plasmid borne.
