Linezolid-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis of Chicken Origin Harbored Chromosome-Borne optrA and Plasmid-Borne cfr, cfr(D), and poxtA2 Genes

Linezolid-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis of Chicken Origin Harbored Chromosome-Borne optrA and Plasmid-Borne cfr, cfr(D), and poxtA2 Genes

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the transferability of acquired linezolid resistance genes and associated mobile genetic elements in an Enterococcus faecalis isolate QZ076, cocarrying optrA, cfr, cfr(D), and poxtA2 genes. MICs were determined by broth microdilution. Whole-genome se...
