glycopeptide resistance gene cluster vanP

Accession ARO:3007187
CARD Short NamevanP_cluster
DefinitionThis cluster confers resistance to both vancomycin and teicoplanin by allowing restructuring of peptidoglycan precursors to end in D-Ala-D-Lac. Resistance is acquired after multiple treatments with sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin. Gene orientation: vanHPXRS.

Resistomes

Prevalence of glycopeptide resistance gene cluster vanP 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).
