Analysis of two pheromone-responsive conjugative multiresistance plasmids carrying the novel mobile optrA locus from Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]

, 2019
Background: The acquired optrA gene, which encodes a ribosomal protection protein of the ABC-F family, can confer cross-resistance to linezolid and florfenicol, posing a serious therapeutic challenge to both human and veterinary medicine.

Comparative and functional genomic analysis of foreign DNA defense mechanisms in Enterococcus faecium

Microbiology Spectrum
Enterococcus faecium is notoriously difficult to study genetically due to the poor understanding of barriers preventing foreign DNA uptake, such as the proteins that modify type I restriction modification (RM) system activity.
