The Association of the mazEF Toxin-antitoxin System and Vancomycin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis

Vancomycin resistant enterococci are challenging bacteria as they are difficult to be eradicated. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic elements located in most prokaryotic genomes. The mazEF TA system is harbored by a plasmid among Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). To explore the relation bet...
