Genetic environment of the transferable oxazolidinone/phenicol resistance gene <i>optrA</i> in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> isolates of human and animal origin

21 Feb 2016

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Aim of this study was to analyse 17 non-related Enterococcus faecalis isolates of human and animal origin for the genetic environment of the novel oxazolidinone/phenicol resistance gene optrA. METHODS: WGS and de novo assembly were conducted to analyse the flanking sequences of the optrA gene in the 17 E. faecalis isolates. When optrA was located on a plasmid, conjugation assays were performed to...
