Eight pulsed-field gel electrophoresis subtypes and six Tn1546 variants were identified among Enterococcus faecalis isolates of a single clone recovered in three geographically separate Portuguese hospitals. Some clonal subtypes were found in particular hospitals, and Tn1546 variants were either widespread or confined to some of them. We also report on the first Tn1546 transposon containing an ISEf1 insertion.
在从葡萄牙三个地理位置分散的医院分离出的单一克隆粪肠球菌菌株中,鉴定出了8种脉冲场凝胶电泳亚型和6种Tn1546变体。在特定医院发现了一些克隆亚型,并且Tn1546变体要么广泛存在,要么局限于其中一些医院。我们还报告了首个含有ISEf1插入序列的Tn1546转座子。
