Abstract excerpt
Objectives: This study evaluated the oxazolidinone resistance mechanisms among a global collection of enterococcal clinical isolates. The epidemiology of optrA-carrying isolates and the optrA genetic context were determined. Methods: Enterococcal isolates (26 648) from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (2008-16) were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and MICs were determined by broth microdilution. Isolates...
