Comparative genomics of global <i>optrA</i> -carrying <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> uncovers common genetic features and a chromosomal hotspot for <i>optrA</i> acquisition
2019-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (LREfs) carrying optrA are increasingly reported globally from multiple sources, but we still lack a comprehensive analysis of human and animal optrA -LREfs strains. We investigated the phylogenetic structure, genetic content [antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence, prophages, plasmidome] and optrA -containing platforms of 28 publicly available optrA -positive E....
