A Conjugative MDR pMG1-Like Plasmid Carrying the lsa(E) Gene of Enterococcus faecium With Potential Transmission to Staphylococcus aureus

lsa(E) is a pleuromutilin, lincosamide, and streptogramin A (PLSA phenotype) resistance gene that was first described in S. aureus and was thought to have been transferred from Enterococcus sp. This study aimed to elucidate the prevalence of the lsa(E) gene among E. faecium isolates at a tertiary te...
