Emergence of <i>optrA</i> -mediated linezolid resistance in multiple lineages and plasmids of <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> revealed by long read sequencing
2020-02-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> To characterise the genetic environment of optrA in linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecalis isolates from Scotland. <h4>Methods</h4> Linezolid-resistant E. faecalis were identified in three Scottish Health Boards and confirmed to carry the optrA gene at the national reference laboratory. WGS was performed with short read (Illumina MiSeq) and long read (Oxford Nanopor...
