The first vancomycin-resistant clinical isolates of Enterococcus(VRE)were reported in 1986. Since then, VRE has spread all over the world. The mechanism of glycopeptide resistance was mainly clarified with vanA-gene type, which is horizontally transferred by a mobile genetic element Tn1546. The vanA gene was finally transmitted to the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), and the first VRSA was isolated in 2002 in USA. However, its prevalence is still very low and mostly confined to the USA. On the other hand, MRSA in general has gradually reduced its susceptibility to vancomycin, which culminated in the appearance of VISA and its precursor hetero-VISA(hVISA). They are present all over the world and have a unique resistance mechanism caused by the mutations incorporated in the global regulator genes.
