Table 5_Genomic characterization of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and van-carr

A hospital in northeastern China collected 19 vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates between 2019 and 2024. Whole-genome sequencing data includes sequence types, plasmid groups, and transposon analysis for vanA and vanM resistance genes. Author Han Yao published the dataset on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the temporal distribution of sequence types (ST17, ST68, ST78, ST80, ST547) based on collection years.
• Study plasmid diversity and fragmentation events based on the 19 identified plasmid groups.
• Characterize structural variations in Tn1546 transposons based on the reported insertions, deletions, and rearrangements.
• Investigate the co-occurrence of vanA and vanM resistance genes with different plasmid and clonal backgrounds.

Strengths

• Data covers a 5-year sampling period (2019-2024), allowing for temporal trend analysis.
• Includes genomic analysis for 19 distinct bacterial isolates.
• Reports five distinct sequence types and 19 plasmid groups, indicating genetic diversity.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (631.1 KB), representing a limited sample from a single hospital.
