Ádám Kerek's dataset from 2026 provides phenotypic and genomic characterization of linezolid non-susceptibility in multidrug-resistant Enterococcus spp. from poultry. It contains data from 218 isolates in a resistance-enriched analytical subset, with whole-genome sequencing performed on a targeted subset of 73 isolates. The data includes minimum inhibitory concentration ranges and results interpreted using both CLSI and EUCAST standards.
Use Cases
- Analyzing phenotypic resistance distributions based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and clinical breakpoints.
- Investigating genomic correlates of resistance based on the screening for transferable oxazolidinone resistance genes and target-site mutations.
- Assessing the prevalence and mechanisms of linezolid non-susceptibility in poultry-derived Enterococcus within a specific geographic context.
- Comparing resistance profiles using different interpretation standards (CLSI vs. EUCAST) mentioned in the methodology.
Strengths
- Includes data from 218 isolates in a resistance-enriched analytical subset.
- Provides whole-genome sequencing data for a targeted subset of 73 isolates.
- Reports specific MIC values, including MIC50 of 2 μg/mL and MIC90 of 128 μg/mL.
- Uses dual interpretation standards (CLSI and EUCAST) for phenotypic results.
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 small (13.1 KB), indicating limited scope.
