The LNSE isolates identified by instrument detection were confirmed using a microbroth dilution method. The WHONET 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis of LNSE detection rate, and the LNSE judgment was based on the 2022 CLSI criteria. PCR methods were used to detect 23S rRNA, cfr, optrA, and L3, L4 ribosomal RNA sites for linezolid resistance genes, and gene sequencing was used to verify the amplified PCR products. Multiple locus sequence typing (MLST) was performed to analyze the homology of LNSE strains.Results: A total of 6924 Enterococcus isolates were separated and identified from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2022, of which 40 were LNSE strains (26 Enterococcus faecalis, 14 Enterococcus faecium), with a detection rate of 0.58% (40/6924). Among them, 28 Linezolid-intermediated Enterococcus(LIE) were detected, accounting for 0.4% (28/6924), and 12 Linezolid-resistant Enterococcus(LRE) were detected, with a detection rate of 0.17% (12/6924). Among the LNSE strains, 23 were resistant to genes. The 40 LNSE strains could be divided into 20 different ST types, with ST16 being the main type, accounting for 12.5% (5/40).Conclusion: The detection of LNSE strains was dominated by Enterococcus faecalis, and the main resistance mechanism of LRE strains was carrying the optrA gene, with 23S rRNA gene mutations also contributing to resistance. New resistance gene phenotypes (optrA +/23S rRNA+) emerged. Most LRE cases were sporadic, and clonal dissemination was observed in some strains.Keywords: linezolid-nonsusceptible Enterococcus, PCR, MLST, ST16, optrA |
