Characterization of novel conjugative multiresistance plasmids carrying<i>cfr</i>from linezolid-resistant<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>clinical isolates from Italy
15 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic environment of the cfr gene from two linezolid-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis from Italy. METHODS: The two strains (SP1 and SP2) were phenotypically and genotypically characterized. Transferability of cfr was assessed by electrotransformation and conjugation. The genetic contexts of cfr were investigated by PCR...
