Mechanisms of Linezolid Resistance Among Enterococci of Clinical Origin in Spain—Detection of <i>optrA</i>- and <i>cfr</i>(D)-Carrying <i>E.</i> <i>faecalis</i>

The mechanisms of linezolid resistance among 13 <i>E. faecalis</i> and 6 <i>E. faecium</i> isolates, recovered from six Spanish hospitals during 2017–2018, were investigated. The presence of acquired linezolid resistance genes and mutations in 23S rDNA and in genes encoding f...
