A protein conferring inducible resistance to glycopeptides, especially in gram-positive bacteria. Nucleotide sequences encoding this protein.

摘要

The invention relates to a VanB protein involved in Gram-positive bacteria, in a resistance to glycopeptides, in particular to vancomycin, this resistance being of the inducible type by vancomycin and not inducible by teicoplanin. The invention also relates to the use of nucleotide fragments of the van B gene for the detection of resistance to glycopeptides. / P
