Poultry-Derived Enterococcus Linezolid Resistance Data from Hungary

Hungarian poultry farms from seven regions contributed 969 Enterococcus isolates, with a resistance-enriched subset of 218 isolates tested for linezolid minimum inhibitory concentrations. The dataset includes whole-genome sequencing results for 73 isolates, focusing on resistance determinants and target-site variations. It was authored by Ádám Kerek and last updated on 2026-05-19.

Use Cases

• Analyzing phenotypic distributions of linezolid resistance based on MIC values and clinical/epidemiological breakpoints.
• Investigating genomic correlates of resistance based on the screening for transferable genes and 23S rRNA target-site substitutions.
• Assessing the prevalence and mechanisms of multidrug resistance in poultry-derived Enterococcus spp. within a specific geographic context.

Strengths

• Includes detailed phenotypic data for 218 isolates with MIC values ranging from 0.015 to 512 μg/mL.
• Contains genomic sequencing data for a targeted subset of 73 isolates to investigate resistance mechanisms.
• Applies dual interpretation frameworks (CLSI clinical breakpoints and EUCAST epidemiological classification).

Limitations

• Row count 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.

Collection Method

Isolates were collected from healthy broiler chicken and turkey farms, with broth microdilution testing and whole-genome sequencing performed on selected subsets.
