Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of glycopeptide-resistant enterococci from U.S. hospitals.
TL;DR: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated both intrahospital and interhospital diversity among Vmr enterococci in the United States and was more useful than plasmid analysis for epidemiologic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Snapshot of Moving and Expanding Clones of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Their Global Distribution Assessed by Spoligotyping in an International Study

TL;DR: To facilitate the analysis of hundreds of spoligotypes each made up of a binary succession of 43 bits of information, a number of major and minor visual rules were also defined to define 36 major clades (or families) of M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
ethA, inhA, and katG Loci of Ethionamide-Resistant Clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced the entire ethA structural gene of 41 ETH-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates and determined the MICs of these MICs in order to associate the mutations identified with a resistance phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes.

TL;DR: This global distribution was defined by data-mining of an international spoligotyping database, SpolDB3, which contains 11,708 patterns from as many clinical isolates originating from more than 90 countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of common and unusual species of enterococci causing infections in the United States. Enterococcal Study Group.
S Gordon,Jana M. Swenson,B C Hill,N E Pigott,Richard R. Facklam,Robert C. Cooksey,Clyde Thornsberry,William R. Jarvis,Fred C. Tenover +8 more
TL;DR: Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns vary among species of enterococci, and these organisms, while commonly resistant to high-level aminoglycosides, can also acquire resistance to vancomycin or the ability to produce beta-lactamase.
