Linezolid-resistant <i>Enterococcus gallinarum</i> isolate of swine origin carrying <i>cfr, optrA</i> and <i>poxtA</i> genes

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of a linezolid-resistant E. gallinarum isolate of swine origin carrying cfr, optrA and poxtA genes. The co-presence of three linezolid resistance determinants in an intrinsically vancomycin-resistant enterococcal species is cause of concern.
