Novel integrative and conjugative elements carrying cfr(B) and cfr(C) linezolid resistance genes in Clostridioides difficile isolates from calves, Italy
25 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To clarify the genetic basis of high-level linezolid resistance in three Clostridioides difficile strains from calves. METHODS: A WGS approach was used to comprehensively characterize C. difficile A501, A505 and A516 strains exhibiting high linezolid MICs, and to clarify their phylogenetic relationships. Linezolid resistance gene transferability was assessed by filter mating experiments. RESULTS: WGS...
