Poultry-Derived Enterococcus Linezolid Resistance Data from Hungary

A 2026 study by Ádám Kerek presents phenotypic and genomic data on linezolid non-susceptibility in multidrug-resistant Enterococcus spp. from poultry farms. The dataset includes 218 isolates for phenotypic testing and a targeted subset of 73 for whole-genome sequencing. It was published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

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 23S rRNA mutations and transferable resistance genes.
• Assessing the prevalence and mechanisms of linezolid non-susceptibility in poultry-derived bacteria across seven Hungarian regions.

Strengths

• Includes 218 isolates for phenotypic analysis with detailed MIC ranges and clinical categorizations.
• Contains whole-genome sequencing data for a targeted subset of 73 isolates to investigate resistance mechanisms.
• Provides a clear methodological framework using both CLSI and EUCAST interpretation standards.

Limitations

• Row count for the primary dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (15.3 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on a specific analytical subset.

Collection Method

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