VanB phenotype-vanA genotype vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) has never been reported in mainland China. We investigated the frequency and molecular characteristics of this strain in a Beijing tertiary hospital. Of 23 vanA genotype VREF clinical isolates, 12 (54.3%) were VanB phenotype-vanA genotype. Mutilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis revealed that all isolates belong to a single clonal complex (CC78), which has been disseminated worldwide. Based on MLST and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, 23 isolates were polyclonal dissemination in our hospital. Tn1546-like element structure analysis showed that of 12 VanB phenotype-vanA genotype isolates, 5 had complete deletion of vanY and vanZ accompanying insertion of IS1216V in vanX-vanY intergenic region, 5 had ISEfa4 insertion in orf2-vanR intergenic region, a new Tn1546 structure type, and 2 were identical to VanA phenotype-vanA genotype VREF. Data showed that the deletion of vanY and vanZ genes or ISEfa4 insertion in orf2-vanR intergenic region can partly explain the causes of difference between phenotype and genotype.
在中国大陆，从未有过关于具有VanB表型-vanA基因型的耐万古霉素屎肠球菌（VREF）的报道。我们在北京一家三级医院调查了该菌株的频率及分子特征。在23株vanA基因型的VREF临床分离株中，有12株（54.3%）为VanB表型-vanA基因型。多位点序列分型（MLST）分析显示，所有分离株均属于一个已在全球传播的单一克隆复合体（CC78）。基于MLST和脉冲场凝胶电泳分析，23株分离株在我院呈多克隆传播。Tn1546样元件结构分析显示，在12株VanB表型-vanA基因型分离株中，5株vanY和vanZ完全缺失，同时IS1216V插入vanX-vanY基因间隔区；5株在orf2-vanR基因间隔区有ISEfa4插入，这是一种新的Tn1546结构类型；2株与VanA表型-vanA基因型VREF相同。数据表明，vanY和vanZ基因的缺失或orf2-vanR基因间隔区的ISEfa4插入可部分解释表型与基因型差异的原因。
