Abstract

The invention relates to a protein VanB involved, in Gram-positive bacteria, in resistance to glycopeptides, particularly to vancomycine, said resistance being of the type inducible by the vancomycine and non-inducible by teicoplanine. The invention also relates to the utilisation of fragments of nucleotides of the gene van B for the detection of resistances to glycopeptides.
