Detection of Genes Related to Linezolid Resistance (poxtA, cfr, and optrA) in Clinical Isolates of Enterococcus spp. from Humans: A First Report from Iran

, 2023
Background: Enterococci may develop resistance to linezolid through chromosomal mutations that involve specific linezolid resistance genes, such as cfr, optrA, and poxtA.

Rapid reconstruction of multidrug‐resistant bacterial genomes using CycloneSEQ nanopore sequencing

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria commonly harbor highly complex genomes enriched with mobile elements and resistance islands, which are challenging to resolve using short‐read sequencing. Here, we evaluated CycloneSEQ, a newly developed Chinese nanopore sequencing platform, for MDR genome reconstruction.

Identification of the Phenicol Efflux Gene fexB and Its Co‐Occurrence With the Oxazolidinone/Phenicol Resistance Gene optrA in Avian Campylobacter jejuni Isolates From Tunisia

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Campylobacter jejuni, a major foodborne and zoonotic pathogen linked to poultry, is showing rising resistance to last‐resort antimicrobials like oxazolidinones and phenicols. Such resistance threatens both animal and human health. Its ability to acquire genes from gram‐positive bacteria highlights the need for surveillance in avian ...

Technical specifications on harmonised monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from food‐producing animals and food

EFSA Journal, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2019., 2019
Abstract Proposals to update the harmonised monitoring and reporting of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from a public health perspective in Salmonella, Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from food‐producing animals and derived meat

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
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.

High prevalence of avian adapted CC5 Staphylococcus aureus isolates in poultry meat in Spain: food chain as vehicle of MRSA and MSSA CC398‐t1451

International Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 59, Issue 12, Page 9180-9188, December 2024.
The food chain can be a vehicle for the transmission of Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages associated with animals such as CC5 (mainly associated with poultry) and CC398 (mainly with pigs). Summary Staphylococcus aureus can cause food poisoning and human infections and CC5 and CC398 are relevant lineages in the animal‐human interface.

Investigating the resistome of haemolytic bacteria in Arctic soils

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2024.
The study explored the antimicrobial potential of bacteria isolated from Arctic soil. The findings revealed that these bacteria harbour a multitude of resistance genes against antibiotics and disinfectants. Additionally, the bacteria demonstrated the ability to cause haemolysis and grow at body temperature.

Comparative Analysis of Chloramphenicol-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Isolated from Dairy Companies in Korea

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Although chloramphenicol is currently banned from use in livestock, other phenicols, such as florfenicol and thiamphenicol, have been used for the treatment of bacterial infections in domestic cattle in Korea.
