Emergence of Linezolid Resistance Genes <i>optrA</i> and <i>cfr</i>(D) in an <i>Enterococcus saccharolyticus</i> from Chicken. [PDF]

Antibiotics (Basel)
Background: The emergence of linezolid resistance, mediated by genes such as optrA and cfr(D), poses a growing public health threat. While these genes have been detected in clinical and animal-derived Enterococcus species, their presence in underexplored species like Enterococcus saccharolyticus remains undocumented, leaving a significant gap in our ...

Analysis of combined resistance to oxazolidinones and phenicols among bacteria from dogs fed with raw meat/vegetables and the respective food items [PDF]

, 2019
The gene optrA is the first gene that confers resistance to the oxazolidinone tedizolid, a last resort antimicrobial agent in human medicine. In this study we investigated the presence of optrA and the multi-resistance genes poxtA and cfr in enterococci ...

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.

Strain Characterization of Streptococcus suis Serotypes 28 and 31, Which Harbor the Resistance Genes optrA and ant(6)-Ia [PDF]

Pathogens, 2021
Streptococcus suis causes disease in pigs and is implicated increasingly in human disease worldwide. Although most clinical cases are associated with serotype 2, infections by other serotypes have sometimes been reported. Here, we sequenced the genome of a multidrug-resistant S. suis serotype 28 (strain 11313) and a multidrug-resistant S. suis serotype

Transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) during animal transport

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Abstract The transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between food‐producing animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) during short journeys (< 8 h) and long journeys (> 8 h) directed to other farms or to the slaughterhouse lairage (directly or with intermediate stops at assembly centres or control posts, mainly transported by road) was assessed.

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

, 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 ...

Persistence of transferable oxazolidinone resistance genes in enterococcal isolates from a swine farm in China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The appearance of transferable oxazolidinone resistance genes poses a major challenge to public health and environmental safety. These genes not only lead pathogenic bacteria to become resistant to linezolid but also reduce sensitivity to florfenicol ...
