High Prevalence and Overexpression of Fosfomycin-Resistant Gene fosX in Enterococcus faecium From China
Enterococci are one of the main causes of gastrointestinal tract infections in the healthcare system and can develop resistance to fosfomycin through plasmid or chromosomally encoded fosfomycin resistance genes. To investigate the mechanisms of fosfomycin resistance, a total of 4,414 clinical isolat...
