An in‐house 45‐plex array for the detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in Gram‐positive bacteria

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Here we describe an in‐house bead array targeting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes of Gram‐positive bacteria and allowing their rapid detection all at once at reduced costs. A total of 27/41 AMR probes targeting genes frequently associated with resistance tested positive on a collection of 124 enterococci and 62 staphylococci isolated from healthy ...

A Genomic Snapshot of Antibiotic‐ResistantEnterococcus faecalis within Public Hospital Environments in South Africa

Global Health, Epidemiology and Genomics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Enterococci are among the most common opportunistic hospital pathogens. This study used whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics to determine the antibiotic resistome, mobile genetic elements, clone and phylogenetic relationship of Enterococcus faecalis isolated from hospital environments in South Africa.

Transferable Resistance Gene optrA in Enterococcus faecalis from Swine in Brazil

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2020
OptrA is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-F protein that confers resistance to oxazolidinones and phenicols and can be either plasmid-encoded or chromosomally encoded. Here, we isolated 13 Enterococcus faecalis strains possessing a linezolid MIC of ≥4 mg/liter from nursery pigs in swine herds located across Brazil ...

Oxazolidinone resistance genes in florfenicol-resistant enterococci from beef cattle and veal calves at slaughter

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundLinezolid is a critically important oxazolidinone antibiotic used in human medicine. Although linezolid is not licensed for use in food-producing animals, the use of florfenicol in veterinary medicine co-selects for oxazolidinone resistance ...
