Detection of the Novel optrA Gene Among Linezolid-Resistant Enterococci in Barcelona, Spain

30 Aug 2018

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to describe the presence of the novel optrA gene among clinical isolates of enterococci in a Spanish teaching hospital (May 2016-April 2017). optrA and cfr genes were screened by PCR in all isolates showing linezolid minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≥4 mg/L. The genetic relatedness of the isolates, the presence of resistance and virulence genes, and the genetic environment of...
