Genomic Insights Into Last-Line Antimicrobial Resistance in Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) are important human pathogens that are resistant to most clinical antibiotics. Treatment options are limited and often require the use of ‘last-line’ antimicrobials such as linezolid, daptomycin, and in the case of Staphylococcus , also vancomycin. The emergence of resistance to these last-line antimicrobial agents is therefore of...
