Spreading of cfr-Carrying Plasmids among Staphylococci from Humans and Animals

Spreading of cfr-Carrying Plasmids among Staphylococci from Humans and Animals

ABSTRACT The multidrug resistance gene cfr mediates resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents, including linezolid. Plasmids are the preferred vector for the dissemination of cfr. However, the presence and transmission of cfr-carrying plasmids among staphylococci from humans and animals have rarel...
