Reversion to sensitivity explains limited transmission of resistance in a hospital pathogen

K. Tracy, J. McKaig, C. L. Kinnear, J. Millar, A. King, A. F. Read, R. J. Woods

The paper investigates how resistance in hospital pathogens reverts to sensitivity when antibiotic pressure is removed, finding that transmitted resistance loses less resistance than de novo resistance.

Rising daptomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium across a hospital system occurred via rampant recurrent evolution and occasional transmission between patients.

R. Woods, A. F. Read, M. Forstchen, C. Kinnear, J. McKaig, T. Patel, K. Tracy, C. L. Young

This study shows that daptomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium increased due to recurrent mutations and occasional transmission between patients in a hospital system.
