Abstract: The satA gene encoding streptogramin A resistance was detected in virginiamycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates from pigs and broilers. The satA gene was present in 22 of 89 (25%) virginiamycin-resistant E. faecium isolates. It was shown that the satA gene and other gene(s) encoding streptogramin resistance could be transferred between isogenic E. faecium strains at frequencies ranging from 2.3 x 10(-4) to 2.2 x 10(-3) transconjugants per donor.

“…Mating experiments were performed as described previously [30]. The conjugal transfer of tet (M) was analyzed in three different assays, using: enterococci as donor and recipient; E. coli as donor and enterococci as recipient; and enterococci as donor and E. coli as recipient.…”

“…Some epidemiological investigations showed that streptogramin-resistant genes ( vat ) were detected in 25% of virginiamycin-resistant E. faecium isolated from pigs and chickens, and in 29% of isolates from farm workers in Denmark (Hammerum et al, 1998 ; Haroche et al, 2000 ). The NARMS report revealed that long-term use of virginiamycin for growth promotion was likely to result in the emergence of streptogramin- resistant Enterococcus which was present in 30–70% of poultry products purchased from supermarkets (NARMS, 2012 ).…”

“…Resistance to the B component (quinupristin) in enterococci is mediated by erm genes and msrC described above. Resistance to the A component (dalfopristin) in the enterococci is mediated by streptogramin A acetyltransferases encoded by vat (B), vat (D), vat (E), or vat (G), ATP-binding transporters encoded by vga (B), or hydrolases encoded by vgb (A) (Hammerum et al, 1998; Jensen et al, 1998; Werner and Witte, 1999; Hershberger, 2004; Roberts, 2004; Jung et al, 2010). The presence of resistance genes to streptogramin A and B antimicrobials differs slightly between Europe and the U.S.…”
