Genomic comparison of the first six Dutch <i>vanD</i>-type vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> (VRE) isolates with four <i>vanD</i> gene clusters from other enterococcal species and anaerobic gut commensals revealed that the <i>vanD</i> gene cluster was located on a genomic island of variable size. Phylogenetic inferences revealed that the Dutch VRE isolates were genetically not closely related and that genetic variation of the <i>vanD</i>-containing genomic island was not species s ...[more]
