Co-diversification of Enterococcus faecium Core Genomes and PBP5: Evidences of pbp5 Horizontal Transfer

Ampicillin resistance has greatly contributed to the recent dramatic increase of a cluster of human adapted lineages (ST17, ST18, and ST78) in hospital-based infections. Changes in the chromosomal gene have been associated with different levels of ampicillin susceptibility, leading to protein varian...
