Abstract
The influence of vancomycin and flavophospholipol (FPL) on the transfer rat
e of conjugative plasmids harboring the vancomycin resistance operon vanA w
as determined in several clinical and animal isolates of Enterococcus faeci
um. FPL significantly inhibited the frequency of transfer of conjugative Va
nA plasmids up to 70-fold. Vancomycin had no significant effect on the tran
sfer rate of VanA plasmids.
