Species distribution and genes encoding antimicrobial resistance in <i>enterococcus</i> spp. isolates from rabbits residing in diverse ecosystems: A new reservoir of linezolid and vancomycin resistance

Abstract

This study highlights the high rates of antimicrobial-resistant enterococci from rabbits and the occurrence of both vancomycin- and linezolid-resistant isolates, potentially representing a very serious threat to human and animal health.
