Selection and maintenance of mobile linezolid-resistance genes and plasmids carrying them in the presence of florfenicol, an animal-specific antimicrobial
2025-03-24
Abstract excerpt
Mobile linezolid-resistance genes (optrA, poxtA, and cfr) that confere resistance to linezolid and florfenicol have been detected globally in various sources. Linezolid is a last-resort antimicrobial used in human clinical settings, and florfenicol is commonly used in veterinary clinical settings. The present study sought to evaluate the potential of florfenicol in veterinary use to select for linezolid-resistant...
