A total of 194 isolates were collected from patients, and the whole genomes were sequenced. Eighty-five (43.8%) isolates showed linezolid (LZD) resistance. Only 8.2% of resistant isolates harbored 23S rRNA mutations. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed higher transcriptional levels of efflux pumps and in LZD-resistant isolates. Genome comparative analysis identified several new LZD resistance-associated genes. This study highlights the role of efflux pumps in LZD-resistant and proposes potential target genes for further studies.
共从患者中收集了 194 株分离株,并对其全基因组进行了测序。85 株(43.8%)分离株对利奈唑胺(LZD)表现出耐药性。仅有 8.2%的耐药分离株携带 23S rRNA 突变。实时荧光定量 PCR(qRT-PCR)显示,LZD 耐药分离株中泵的转录水平更高。基因组比较分析确定了几个新的与 LZD 耐药相关的基因。本研究强调了泵在 LZD 耐药中的作用,并提出了进一步研究的潜在靶基因。
