First Detection and Genomic Characterization of Linezolid-Resistant <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Clinical Isolates in Bulgaria

Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic and is considered a last-resort treatment option for serious infections caused by problematic Gram-positive pathogens, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The present study aimed to explore the linezolid resistance mechanisms and genomic characteristi...
