A Possible Role of Insertion Sequence IS<i>1216V</i> in Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant Elements MES<sub>PM1</sub> and MES<sub>6272-2</sub> between <i>Enterococcus</i> and ST59 <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

A Possible Role of Insertion Sequence IS<i>1216V</i> in Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant Elements MES<sub>PM1</sub> and MES<sub>6272-2</sub> between <i>Enterococcus</i> and ST59 <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

Sequence type 59 (ST59) is the dominant type of community-associated methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) in Taiwan. Previously, we reported that ST59 MRSA harbors enterococcal IS<i>1216V</i>-mediated multidrug-resistant composite transposons MES<sub&g...
