Whole-genome sequencing of Enterococcus hirae CQP3-9, a strain carrying phenicol-oxazolidinone-tetracycline resistance gene poxtA of swine origin in china

ConclusionHere we first report the phenicol-oxazolidinone-tetracycline resistance gene poxtA in E. hirae, which is located on a plasmid that co-carries erm(B), fexB, tet(L) and tet(M). The genome sequence of E. hirae CQP3-9 provides valuable information for the dissemination of poxtA among enterococci.
