Disease Class: Enterococci avium infection [1]

• Resistant Disease: Enterococci avium infection [ICD-11: 1A00-1C4Z]
• Resistant Drug: Elfamycin
• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Inherence
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus avium strain NCTC9938; 33945
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus casseliflavus strain NCIMB11449; 37734
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus durans strain NCTC8174; 53345
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus faecalis strain NCTC775; 1351
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus faecium strain NCTC 7171; 1352
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus gallinarum strain NCTC11428; 1353
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus hirae strain NCIMB6459; 1354
• In Vitro Model: Enterococcus raffinosus strain NCTC 12192; 1989
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Agar dilution assay
• Mechanism Description: Among enterococci, susceptibility or resistance to elfamycins appears to be determined by the bacterial protein synthesis elongation factor EF-Tu. E.faecium, E.durans, and E.hirae were susceptible to the elfamycins, while isolates of E.faecalis and all other species tested were resistant. Elfamycin resistance in E.faecalis ATCC7080 was mediated by the intrinsic resistance of its EF-Tu.
