| abstract |
The invention relates to a polypeptide composition, characterized in that it comprises at least one protein or part of a protein selected from the amino acid sequences identified in the sequence list by SED ID NO 1 (VanH), SEQ ID NO 2 (VanA), SEQ ID No. 3 (VanX) or SEQ ID NO 19 (VanC), or any protein or part of a protein recognized by the antibodies directed against VanH, VanA, VanX or VanC, or any protein or part of encoded protein by a sequence hybridizing with one of the nucleotide sequences identified in the sequence listing by SEQ ID NO 8, SEQ ID NO 9 or SEQ ID NO 10 or with one of the following sequences V1 or V2 under stringent or low stringency conditions The invention also relates to the nucleotide sequences encoding these polypeptides as well as their use for diagnosis to glycopeptide resistance. |
