We report here on the characterization of a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VREF) isolated from a dog with mastitis. The isolate was positive for the vanA, ermB, and tet(M) genes, with vanA and ermB carried on the same transferable plasmid. Comparison of this isolate with VREF from poultry and human sources in New Zealand demonstrated identical SmaI macrorestriction patterns and Tn1546-like elements. This is further evidence of a clonal lineage of VREF in New Zealand.
我们在此报告从一只患乳腺炎的犬分离出的一株耐万古霉素粪肠球菌(VREF)的特征。该分离株的vanA、ermB和tet(M)基因呈阳性,vanA和ermB位于同一可转移质粒上。将该分离株与新西兰家禽和人类来源的VREF进行比较,结果显示SmaI酶切图谱和Tn1546样元件相同。这进一步证明了新西兰存在VREF的克隆谱系。
