| CARD Short Name | vanI_cluster |
| Definition | This inducible cluster confers high resistance to vancomycin and intermediate resistance to teicoplanin. It achieves this through peptidoglycan restructuring with its VanA ligase homologue, VanI, causing the precursurs to end in D-Ala-D-Lac. The cluster uniquely contains murF, the final enzyme in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide, the precursor of murein. The VanI gene cluster has been found in chromosomal DNA. Gene orientation: vanSRIWK-murFvanX. |

Prevalence of glycopeptide resistance gene cluster VanI among the sequenced genomes, plasmids, and whole-genome shotgun assemblies available at NCBI or IslandViewer for 413 important pathogens (see methodological details and complete list of analyzed pathogens). Values reflect percentage of genomes, plasmids, genome islands, or whole-genome shotgun assemblies that have at least one hit to the AMR detection model. Default view includes percentages calculated based on Perfect plus Strict RGI hits. Select the checkbox to view percentages based on only Perfect matches to AMR reference sequences curated in CARD (note: this excludes resistance via mutation as references in protein variant models are often wild-type, sensitive sequences).
