Fitness costs of various mobile genetic elements in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis

OBJECTIVES: To determine the fitness effects of various mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis when newly acquired. We also tested the hypothesis that the biological cost of vancomycin resistance plasmids could be mitigated during continuous growth in the la...
