Distribution of Florfenicol Resistance Genes <i>fexA</i> and <i>cfr</i> among Chloramphenicol-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus</i> Isolates
28 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
A total of 302 chloramphenicol-resistant Staphylococcus isolates were screened for the presence of the florfenicol/chloramphenicol resistance genes fexA and cfr and their localization on mobile genetic elements. Of the 114 isolates from humans, only a single Staphylococcus aureus isolate showed an elevated MIC to florfenicol, but did not carry either of the known resistance genes, cfr or fexA. In contrast, 11 of...
