First Report of the Plasmid-mediated <i>fosB</i> Gene in <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> from Pigs

Plasmid-mediated fosfomycin determinants is a global public health concern due to the increasing dissemination of fosfomycin resistance and limited clinical treatment options. Information about the fosfomycin resistant and molecular genetic among <i>Enterococcus</i> spp. is still lacking...
