An Enterococcus faecium Isolated from Bovine Feces in Italy Shares optrA - and poxtA -Carrying Plasmids with Enterococci from Switzerland

Microbial Drug Resistance, 2023
To investigate the occurrence of oxazolidinone resistance genes, 18 florfenicol-resistant enterococci were isolated from 66 fecal samples collected from several cattle farms in central Italy. The PCR screening indicated that only a bovine florfenicol-resistant isolate, Enterococcus faecium ...

An Enterococcus faecium Isolated from Bovine Feces in Italy Shares optrA- and poxtA-Carrying Plasmids with Enterococci from Switzerland.

Microbial drug resistance (Larchmont, N.Y.), 2023
To investigate the occurrence of oxazolidinone resistance genes, 18 florfenicol-resistant enterococci were isolated from 66 fecal samples collected from several cattle farms in central Italy. The PCR screening indicated that only a bovine florfenicol-resistant isolate, Enterococcus faecium 249031-C, was positive for the presence of optrA and poxtA ...

Development of a multiplex-PCR to simultaneously detect acquired linezolid resistance genes cfr, optrA and poxtA in enterococci of clinical origin

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2019
Linezolid-resistant enterococcus spp. are increasingly recognized by diagnostic laboratories. Resistance can be mediated by the expression of cfr, optrA or poxtA. We developed a multiplex-PCR to simultaneously detect all three genes. The PCR is suitable for microbiological diagnostics in order to restrict further spread of resistances in enterococci.

Identification of an Enterococcus faecium strain isolated from raw bovine milk co-harbouring the oxazolidinone resistance genes optrA and poxtA in China

Veterinary Microbiology
Oxazolidinones are potent antimicrobial agents used to treat human infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. The growing resistance to oxazolidinones poses a significant threat to public health. In August 2021, a linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecium BN83 was isolated from a raw milk sample of cow in Inner Mongolia, China ...
