Poultry-Derived Enterococcus Linezolid Resistance Data from Hungary

218 Enterococcus isolates from poultry farms across seven Hungarian regions underwent broth microdilution testing for linezolid resistance. The dataset, created by Ádám Kerek and last updated in May 2026, includes phenotypic distributions and genomic screening results for a targeted subset of 73 isolates. It integrates clinical and epidemiological breakpoints to characterize non-susceptibility in a One Health context.

Use Cases

• Analyzing phenotypic distributions of linezolid minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) based on the reported MIC50 and MIC90 values.
• Investigating genomic correlates of elevated resistance phenotypes based on the screening for transferable genes and target-site mutations.
• Comparing resistance classification outcomes based on the application of both CLSI clinical breakpoints and EUCAST epidemiological criteria.
• Assessing the prevalence and mechanisms of linezolid non-susceptibility in poultry-derived, multidrug-resistant Enterococcus.

Strengths

• Includes 218 isolates in the analytical subset, providing a focused resistance-enriched sample.
• Reports specific phenotypic metrics, including a MIC50 of 2 μg/mL and a MIC90 of 128 μg/mL.
• Integrates whole-genome sequencing data for a targeted subset of 73 isolates to link phenotype and genotype.
• Applies dual interpretive frameworks (CLSI and EUCAST) for transparent resistance categorization.

Limitations

• Row count for the full dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is described as an enrichment-based analytical subset, not designed for prevalence inference in the broader population.
