Detection of the Phenicol–Oxazolidinone Resistance Gene <i>poxtA</i> in <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> from Food-Producing Animals during 2008–2018 in Korea

We aimed to investigate the presence of the phenicol–oxazolidinone resistance gene <i>poxtA</i> in linezolid-resistant enterococci from food-producing animals and analyze its molecular characteristics. We collected 3941 <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> and 5088 <i>E. faecali...
