Detection of a New cfr-Like Gene, cfr(B), in Enterococcus faecium Isolates Recovered from Human Specimens in the United States as Part of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program.

PMID: 262483842015United States

Key Findings

The study reports the first detection of the cfr gene in E. faecium clinical isolates in the United States and characterizes a new variant, cfr(B), which confers resistance to multiple antibiotic classes including phenicols, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, macrolides, and streptogramin A.
