Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the evolutionary patterns and resistance mechanisms of an Enterococcus faecalis strain harbouring poxtA under linezolid exposure. METHODS: A poxtA-carrying E. faecalis electrotransformant DJH702 with a linezolid minimum inhibitory concentration of 4 mg/L was exposed to increasing concentrations of linezolid (8-64 mg/L). The derived strains growing at 8, 16, 32 and 64 mg/L,...
