Rapid emergence of highly variable and transferable oxazolidinone and phenicol resistance gene optrA in German Enterococcus spp. clinical isolates

•optrA-positive and linezolid-resistant Enterococcus spp. are on the rise.•Multiple variants of the optrA gene exist.•optrA was detected in various plasmid backgrounds and the bacterial chromosome.•optrA is easily transferred to other pathogenic bacteria. The number of linezolid-resistant Enterococc...
