1
Q
Vancomycin antibiotic
A
Not routinely used, binds to D-ala on PDG precursors to prevent cross-linking
2
Q
Virulence factor of VRE
A
Frequent and efficient conjugation that can even be observed in real time during outbreaks
3
Q
VRE G+ vs G-
A
Gram positive
4
Q
VRE plasmids
A
Highly conjugative
- Formerly chromosomal DNA that VRE happily integrates into their genome
5
Q
Consequence of the genetic capacity of VRE
A
Resistence acquisition via natural competence and efficient DNA sampling
