First detection of an optrA-positive, linezolid-resistant ST16 Enterococcus faecalis from human in Greece

10 Feb 2019

Abstract excerpt

Until now, in Greece, the resistance of enterococci to linezolid was associated with mutations of domain V of 23S ribosomal RNA (G2576T). Here we report the first linezolid-resistant optrA-positive Enterococcus faecalis sequence type (ST) 16 isolated from a patient with a urinary tract infection (UTI). No travels overseas, contact with food-producing animals or previous treatment with linezolid were reported....
