Molecular typing methods were compared by using 66 ampicillin-resistant, non-beta-lactamase-producing Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates from diverse geographic areas. Whole-plasmid analysis, restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA with EcoRI and HindIII, and contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis with digestion by SmaI and ApaI were performed on all isolates. Whole-plasmid analysis identified 47 different groups. Restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA identified 50 groups when EcoRI was used and 51 groups when HindIII was used. Results with EcoRI and HindIII differed in 9 of 66 isolates. Grouping results with whole-plasmid analysis differed from results of restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA (combining EcoRI and HindIII) in 20 of 66 isolates. Contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis identified 46 groups when SmaI was used and 44 groups when ApaI was used. Results with SmaI and ApaI differed in 3 of 66 isolates. Grouping results with contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis (combining SmaI and ApaI) differed from results of restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA (combining EcoRI and HindIII) in 17 of 66 isolates. The combined use of whole-plasmid analysis, restriction enzyme analysis of plasmid DNA with two enzymes, and contour-clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis with two restriction enzymes should be considered when E. faecium is typed for epidemiologic investigation.
