PROTEIN CONFERRING AN INDUCIBLE RESISTANCE TO GLYCOPEPTIDES, PARTICULARLY IN GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA

摘要

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