Genomic analysis of Enterococcus faecium co-carrying optrA and poxtA from a swine farm: dissemination across the human–animal–environment interface
8 Jan 2026
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transferable resistance genes optrA and poxtA mediate cross-resistance to florfenicol and linezolid, posing serious challenges to both veterinary and human healthcare. Swine farms serve as critical ecological niches for the development and dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) strains. However, the mechanisms by which E. faecium harboring optrA and poxtA...
