pAM401-based shuttle vectors that enable overexpression of promoterless genes and one-step purification of tag fusion proteins directly from Enterococcus faecalis
Article Abstract:
Researchers describe an E. coli-Enterococcus faecalis shuttle vector that can express cloned genes in E. faecalis without a promoter. E. faecalis is human pathogen that may become resistant to antibiotics that are normally used to treat enterococcal infections.

Pheromone-responsive conjugative vancomycin resistant plasmids in Enterococcus faecalis isolates from humans and chicken feces
Article Abstract:
The drug resistances and plasmid contents of a total of 85 vancomycin resistant enterococccus (VRE) strains that were isolated in Korea were examined. The results provide evidence for the exchange of genetic information between human and animal chicken VRE reservoirs and suggest the potential for horizontal transmission of multiple drug resistance, including vancomycin resistance, between farm animals and humans via a pheromone responsive conjugative plasmid.
