Novel transposon Tn <i>8026</i> contributes to the global spread of transmissible linezolid resistance in <i>Enterococcus</i> via a linear plasmid

2026-03-04

Abstract excerpt

Linezolid is a critical last-resort antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium , particularly against vancomycin-resistant lineages where therapeutic options are severely limited. While resistance has historically arisen through de novo chromosomal mutations, the global emergence of transferable resistance mechanisms threatens to render more infections untreatable. Here, we characterise a recent...
