Research findings, 'Global spread of the hyl(Efm) colonization-virulence gene in megaplasmids of the Enterococcus faecium CC17 polyclonal subcluster,' are discussed in a new report. "Enterococcus faecium has increasingly been reported as a nosocomial pathogen since the early 1990s, presumptively associated with the expansion of a human-associated Enterococcus faecium polyclonal subcluster known as clonal complex 17 (CC17) that has progressively acquired different antibiotic resistance (ampicillin and vancomycin) and virulence (esp(Efm), hyl(Efm), and fms) traits. We analyzed the presence and the location of a putative glycoside hydrolase hyl(Efm) gene among E. faecium strains obtained from...
