Table 7_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 data reveals five sequence types, 19 plasmid groups, and structural diversity in van gene-carrying transposons. The dataset, authored by Han Yao and shared under CC-BY-4.0, provides genomic insights into the evolution of resistance in a hospital setting over five years.

Use Cases

• Analyze the temporal distribution of sequence types (ST17, ST68, ST78, ST80, ST547) based on collection dates.
• Study plasmid diversity and fragmentation events based on the 19 identified plasmid groups.
• Characterize structural variations in Tn1546 transposons based on the described insertions, deletions, and rearrangements.
• Investigate the association between vanA and vanM resistance genes and specific plasmid or clonal backgrounds.

Strengths

• Data covers a 5-year sampling period (2019-2024), allowing for temporal trend analysis.
• Includes genomic characterization of 19 isolates with identified sequence types and resistance gene variants.
• Analysis details 19 plasmid groups and structural diversity in van-associated transposons.

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 very small (10.1 KB), indicating limited scope and sample size.
