Background: Enterococci may develop resistance to linezolid through chromosomal mutations that involve specific linezolid resistance genes, such as cfr, optrA, and poxtA.

ABSTRACT The emergence and worldwide dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) compromise antibiotic therapy and are a major public health crisis. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in the spread of ARGs among bacterial pathogens.

Emergence of optrA-mediated linezolid resistance in clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis from Argentina [PDF]
: Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize the first 14 optrA-carrying linezolid resistant E. faecalis clinical isolates recovered in seven Argentinian hospitals between 2016 and 2021.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.

Oxazolidinones are critically important antibiotics to treat human infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, therefore the occurrence of linezolid-resistant enterococci from food-producing animals poses a serious risk to human health.

This study revealed spatio‐temporal characteristics of gastrointestinal resistome in a cow‐to‐calf model and the pattern of their spread to the environment and offspring in the dairy production system. The gastrointestinal tract of dairy cows is a natural reservoir of resistomes and distinguished by gut sites and regions.

Comparative Genomic and Phylogenetic Analysis of Salmonella enterica Isolated From Donkey
Salmonella is one of the most prevalent foodborne and zoonotic pathogens threatening global public health and food safety. Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Abortusequi (S. Abortusequi) is frequently reported as the etiological agent of equine abortion, septicemia, and polyarthritis.

Streptococcus suis Serotype 14: A Nonnegligible Zoonotic Population
Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause severe infections in both humans and pigs. The prevalence of S. suis serotype 14 in sporadic cases in China has been gradually increasing during recent years. However, the current understanding of S. suis serotype 14 is limited.

One hundred forty-five florfenicol-resistant enterococci, isolated from swine fecal samples collected from 76 pig farms, were investigated for the presence of optrA, cfr, and poxtA genes by PCR.

Linezolid and penicillin are critical for treating multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram‐positive infections, but the emergence of resistance to both seriously threatens public health. Here, we first report the cocarrying poxtA (oxazolidinone resistance) and pbp5fm (β‐lactam resistance) genes by the plasmid in a strain of Enterococcus hirae HDC14‐2 derived ...
