Poultry-Derived Enterococcus Linezolid Susceptibility and Genomic Data from Hungary

218 Enterococcus isolates from Hungarian poultry farms underwent broth microdilution testing for linezolid resistance, with 79 (36.2%) classified as non-susceptible. A targeted subset of 73 isolates with elevated minimum inhibitory concentrations was whole-genome sequenced to screen for resistance determinants. The dataset was created by Ádám Kerek and last updated on 2026-05-19.

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 genes and target-site mutations.
• Assessing the prevalence and mechanisms of linezolid non-susceptibility in poultry-derived Enterococcus within a specific geographic region.

Strengths

• Includes both phenotypic (MIC values for 218 isolates) and genomic (WGS for 73 isolates) data layers.
• Provides specific MIC statistics, including a MIC50 of 2 μg/mL and a MIC90 of 128 μg/mL.
• Uses dual interpretation frameworks (CLSI and EUCAST) for resistance categorization.

Limitations

• The dataset is small (15.4 KB), indicating limited scope and row count.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample is an enrichment-based analytical subset not designed for prevalence inference, which may limit generalizability.
