Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Enterococcus faecium is one of the important pathogens causing nosocomial infection, which can be resistant to fosfomycin by obtaining the plasmid-encoded fosfomycin resistance genes, and the mutation of MurA protein encoded by chromosome is a newly discovered fosfomycin resistance mechanism in recent years. METHODS: In this study, we found a fosfomycin-resistant clinical isolate of E. faecium...
