Detection of Genes Related to Linezolid Resistance (poxtA, cfr, and optrA) in Clinical Isolates of Enterococcus spp. from Humans: A First Report from Iran
Background: Enterococci may develop resistance to linezolid through chromosomal mutations that involve specific linezolid resistance genes, such as cfr, optrA, and poxtA. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility of enterococcal isolates and identify cfr, optrA, and p...
