Oxazolidinone resistance genes in florfenicol-resistant enterococci from beef cattle and veal calves at slaughter
BackgroundLinezolid is a critically important oxazolidinone antibiotic used in human medicine. Although linezolid is not licensed for use in food-producing animals, the use of florfenicol in veterinary medicine co-selects for oxazolidinone resistance genes.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the occ...
