Linezolid resistance in immunocompromised patients: Co-occurrence of <i>optrA</i> and <i>fexA</i> genes harbored by a novel plasmid in <i>Enterocococus faecalis</i> ST300
This study reported, for the first time, the co-occurrence of optrA and fexA genes in linezolid-resistant E. faecalis ST300 and ST861, harbored by a novel plasmid in the ST300 strain.
