High prevalence and plasmidome diversity of optrA-positive enterococci in a Shenzhen community, China
The transfer of <i>optrA</i> gene is related to a variety of mobile elements (including plasmids, insertion sequences, transposons), which will promote the horizontal transfer of <i>optrA</i>. Moreover, many ARGs co-exist with <i>optrA</i> and could co-transfer with <i>optrA</i>. The acquisition of OPEs and <i>optrA</i>-carrying plasmids will pose a greater threat to public health and should be obtained more attention, especially <i>optrA</i>-positive <i>E. faecalis</i> and pAD1 + DOp1-type plasmids.
