Retrospective analysis of genome sequences revealed the wide dissemination of <i>optrA</i> in Gram-positive bacteria

20 Dec 2016

Abstract excerpt

Sir, Oxazolidinones, including linezolid and tedizolid, are highly effective against infections of enterococci, staphylococci and streptococci, which are clinically important Gram-positive pathogens.1,cfr is the first gene that is transferable and causes resistance to oxazolidinones; cfr also mediates resistance to phenicols, lincosamides, pleuromutilins and streptogramin A.2 Recently, Wang et al.3 first reported...
