There are two types of vancomycin resistance in enterococci. The first type is intrinsic resistance (mostly vanC type but also vanD, vanE, vanF etc) found in E. gallinarum and E. casseliflavus/E. flavescens and demonstrates a low-level resistance to vancomycin. The second type of vancomycin resistance in enterococci is acquired resistance (vanA & vanB types), mostly seen in E. faecium and E. faecalis.
