Description

A drug-proof gut germ's genes are read by Hong Shen and co-authors in work dated 2025. Among over two thousand hospital samples of Enterococcus faecium, nineteen shrugged off linezolid, a last-line drug. Gene hunts and type reads sorted their tricks. One strain held two resistance sets at once, a first of its kind in clinic. It still fell to vancomycin in tests, an odd split.

Two new variants of one spread gene turned up. A fresh type number joined the books as well. Watch on this germ needs both gene lenses.
