摘要：

Forty-six VanA glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) from a single patient were investigated for variation in structure and location of VanA resistance elements, Together with identification to species level and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, these data divided the CRE into 10 groups and subgroups. Combining data in this manner appears helpful when investigating the epidemiology of GRE.
