The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of drug resistance and its genetic determinants for E. faecalis clinical isolates in north-central Bangladesh. Among a total of 210 E. faecalis isolates, isolated from urine, the resistance rates to erythromycin, levofloxacin, and gentamicin (high level) were 85.2, 45.7, and 11.4%, respectively, while no isolates were resistant to ampicillin, vancomycin and teicoplanin. The most prevalent resistance gene was erm(B) (97%), and any of the four genes encoding aminoglycoside modifying enzyme (AME) were detected in 99 isolates (47%). The AME gene aac(6\u2032)-Ie-aph(2\u201d)-Ia was detected in 46 isolates (21.9%) and was diverse in terms of IS256-flanking patterns, which were associated with resistance level to gentamicin. Tetracycline resistance was ascribable to tet(M) (61%) and tet(L) (38%), and mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region of both GyrA and ParC were identified in 44% of isolates. Five isolates (2.4%) exhibited non-susceptibility to linezolide (MIC, 4 \u03bcg\/mL), and harbored the oxazolidinone resistance gene optrA, which was located in a novel genetic cluster containing the phenicol exporter gene fexA. The optrA-positive isolates belonged to ST59, ST902, and ST917 (CC59), while common lineages of other multiple drug-resistant isolates were ST6, ST28, CC16, and CC116. The present study first revealed the prevalence of drug resistance determinants of E. faecalis and their genetic profiles in Bangladesh.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms8081240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,14]],"date-time":"2020-08-14T13:00:18Z","timestamp":1597410018000},"page":"1240","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Drug Resistance Determinants in Clinical Isolates of Enterococcus faecalis in Bangladesh: Identification of Oxazolidinone Resistance Gene optrA in ST59 and ST902 Lineages"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Sangjukta","family":"Roy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8402-5349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meiji Soe","family":"Aung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hygiene, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo 060-8556, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shyamal Kumar","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Netrokona Medical College, Netrokona 2400, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salma","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazia","family":"Haque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily Rahman","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tridip Kanti","family":"Barman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Unit, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arup","family":"Islam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sahida","family":"Abedin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chand","family":"Sultana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anindita","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh 2200, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Akram","family":"Hossain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imperial Hospital Ltd.
