Occurrence of a plasmid co-carrying <i>cfr</i>(D) and <i>poxtA2</i> linezolid resistance genes in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> and <i>Enterococcus casseliflavus</i> from porcine manure, Italy

Abstract

The occurrence of the pV386 plasmid in E. faecalis and E. casseliflavus from swine manure is of great concern and highlights the need for control measures to contain its spread to other enterococcal species.
