Enterococcal linear plasmids adapt to <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> and spread within multidrug-resistant clades

2022-09-07

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacterial pathogens, including enterococci, is a global concern, and plasmids are crucial for spreading and maintaining AMR genes. Plasmids with linear topology were recently identified in clinical multidrug-resistant enterococci. The enterococcal linear-form plasmids, such as pELF1, confer resistance to clinically important antimicrobials, including vancomycin; however, little in...
