Abstract
ABSTRACTWe describe here the sequence and gene organization of a new glycopeptide resistance operon (vanO) inRhodococcus equifrom soil. ThevanOoperon has low homology to enterococcalvanoperons and harbors avanHOXcluster transcribed in the direction opposite that of thevanS-vanRregulatory system and composed of three open reading frames with unknown function. This finding has clinical interest, since glycopeptides are used to treatR. equiinfections and resistance has been reported in clinical isolates.
