Comparative Genomic Features of Six VREfm Sequence Types

2026-03-24 data release by Thanwa Wongsuk compares genomic features of six vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) sequence types and one vancomycin-sensitive strain. The dataset is a 17.5 KB XLS file with unknown row and column counts.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of Mobile Genetic Elements across different VREfm sequence types.
• Compare the presence of Virulence Factors between vancomycin-resistant and vancomycin-sensitive E. faecium strains.
• Investigate the association between specific sequence types (e.g., Clonal Complex 17) and markers like Tet resistance.
• Study genetic characteristics related to VRE Detection Rate in the provided isolates.

Strengths

• Data is recently updated as of March 2026.
• Includes comparative analysis of six distinct VREfm sequence types.
• Released under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 17.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of observations.
• No column names or sample data are provided, making initial assessment of structure and features difficult.
• Row count and specific data fields are unknown, limiting understanding of dataset scale and completeness.
