Constant flux relation for diffusion-limited cluster-cluster aggregation [PDF]

, 2008
In a nonequilibrium system, a constant flux relation (CFR) expresses the fact that a constant flux of a conserved quantity exactly determines the scaling of the particular correlation function linked to the flux of that conserved quantity.

Spreading of cfr-Carrying Plasmids among Staphylococci from Humans and Animals

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The multidrug resistance gene cfr mediates resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents, including linezolid. Plasmids are the preferred vector for the dissemination of cfr.

Genomic characterization of multidrug-resistance gene cfr in Escherichia coli recovered from food animals in Eastern China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The plasmid-borne cfr gene, mediating multiple drug resistance (MDR), has been observed in many Gram-positive bacteria. The prevalence of cfr and its co-occurrence with additional antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants in Escherichia coli is an ...

Bacteria from Animals as a Pool of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes

Antibiotics, 2017
Antimicrobial agents are used in both veterinary and human medicine. The intensive use of antimicrobials in animals may promote the fixation of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria, which may be zoonotic or capable to transfer these genes to human ...

The Order Bacillales Hosts Functional Homologs of the Worrisome cfr Antibiotic Resistance Gene [PDF]

, 2012
The cfr gene encodes the Cfr methyltransferase that methylates a single adenine in the peptidyl transferase region of bacterial ribosomes. The methylation provides resistance to several classes of antibiotics that include drugs of clinical and veterinary

Mechanisms of linezolid resistance among coagulase-negative staphylococci determined by whole-genome sequencing. [PDF]

, 2014
UnlabelledLinezolid resistance is uncommon among staphylococci, but approximately 2% of clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) may exhibit resistance to linezolid (MIC, ≥8 µg/ml).
