Sechi, Leonardo Antonio and Franklin, Richard and Duprè, Ilaria and Zanetti, Stefania Anna Lucia and Fadda, Giovanni and Daneo-Moore, Lolita (1998) Characterization of new insertion-like sequences of Enterococcus hirae and their dissemination among clinical Enterococcus faecium isolates. FEMS Microbiology Letters, Vol. 161 (1), p. 165-172. eISSN 1574-6968. Article. Full text not available from this repository. DOI: 10.1111/j.1574-6968.1998.tb12944.x AbstractSequence analysis of different fragments that hybridized with a 4.5-kb EcoRI fragment originally cloned from Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 showed 66% homology to IS-like sequences found in staphylococci and lactococci. We tested several enterococcal ATCC strains and found that only E. hirae ATCC 9790 and Enterococcus faecium ATCC 19434 hybridized with the IS-like sequence. Moreover, we wanted to investigate the dissemination of this new IS among E. faecium strains. We analyzed 131 clinical E. faecium isolated in Italy and the USA for the presence of the IS and we found its presence in more than 63% of the isolates. The hybridization patterns obtained vary considerably between unrelated strains and allow further classification among ribotype-grouped species.
