Table 2_Genomic characterization of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and van-carr

19 vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates were collected from a tertiary hospital in northeastern China between 2019 and 2024. Whole-genome sequencing and genomic analysis by Han Yao revealed five sequence types and 19 plasmid groups, with vanA and vanM resistance genes. The data provides insights into the diversity of resistance plasmids and transposons over a five-year period.

Use Cases

• Tracking temporal shifts in bacterial sequence types based on the distinct distributions of ST17, ST68, and ST78 from 2019-2024
• Analyzing plasmid diversity and fragmentation events based on the 19 identified plasmid groups and replicon status
• Characterizing structural variations in van gene-carrying transposons based on the described Tn1546 variants with insertions, deletions, and rearrangements
• Investigating the co-occurrence of resistance genes and plasmid backbones across different bacterial lineages

Strengths

• Data covers a 5-year sampling period from 2019 to 2024, allowing temporal analysis.
• Includes genomic analysis of 19 isolates with identified vanA (16) and vanM (3) resistance genes.
• Analysis reveals five distinct sequence types and 19 plasmid groups, suggesting diversity.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single hospital in northeastern China, which may limit generalizability.
