Tracing the emergence of the novel fluoroquinolone resistance gene <i>qrtA</i> in enterococci through environmental reservoirs and pELF-type linear plasmids
2026-03-28
Abstract excerpt
As animal hosts adapted to land, Enterococcus species diverged from a common ancestor shared with Vagococcus species by acquiring genes essential for survival and transmission in the exposed arid environment. In addition to their intrinsic ruggedness, human-associated enterococci now frequently exhibit multidrug resistance, largely driven by the accumulation of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) on mobile gen...
