PROTEIN THAT CONFERSES A RESISTANCE OF INDUCIBLE TYPE AGAINST GLICOPEPTIDES, ESPECIALLY IN GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA.

摘要

THE INVENTION REFERS TO A VANB PROTEIN INVOLVED IN GRAMPOSITIVE BACTERIA, IN A RESISTANCE TO GLICOPEPTIDES, IN PARTICULAR TO VANCOMYCIN, BEING THIS RESISTANCE OF THE TYPE INDUCIBLE BY VANCOMYCIN AND NOT INDUCIBLE BY TEICOPLANIN. THE INVENTION REFERS ALSO TO THE USE OF NUCLEOTID FRAGMENTS OF THE GEN VAN B FOR THE DETECTION OF GLICOPEPTIDE RESISTANCE.
