Emergence of lineage ST150 and linezolid resistance in Enterococcus faecalis: a molecular epidemiology study of UTIs in Tehran, Iran
The emergence of the ST150 clonal lineage, underscores its clinical significance, particularly in relation to linezolid resistance in <i>E. faecalis</i>. This study adds to the growing body of evidence linking specific clonal lineages with antibiotic resistance, highlighting the critical need for ongoing surveillance and molecular characterization of resistant pathogens.
