Dissemination of linezolid-resistance through sex pheromone plasmid transfer in <i>Enterococcs faecalis</i>

2019-11-07

Abstract excerpt

Despite recent recognition of the ATP-binding cassette protein OptrA as an important mediator of linezolid-resistance in Enterococcus faecalis worldwide, the mechanisms of optrA gene acquisition and transfer remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed comprehensive molecular and phenotypic profiling of 44 optrA -carrying E. faecalis clinical isolates with linezolid-resistance. Pulse-field gel electro...
