Abstract excerpt
Oxazolidinones, such as linezolid and tedizolid, represent last-resort drugs for the treatment of serious clinical infections caused by MDR Gram-positive bacteria. To date, seven different acquired oxazolidinone resistance genes have been identified, including cfr, cfr(B), cfr(C), cfr(D), cfr(E), optrA and poxtA.1 The gene cfr(D), a cfr gene variant, codes for an rRNA methyltransferase that confers a similar...
