Emergence of Linezolid Resistance Genes optrA and cfr(D) in an Enterococcus saccharolyticus from Chicken

Abstract excerpt

Background: The emergence of linezolid resistance, mediated by genes such as optrA and cfr(D), poses a growing public health threat. While these genes have been detected in clinical and animal-derived Enterococcus species, their presence in underexplored species like Enterococcus saccharolyticus remains undocumented, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of their dissemination and stability. Method: E....
