The poxtA gene has been circulating among clinical enterococci in France since at least 2016, mostly in E. faecium and independently from optrA. The poxtA-carrying plasmids often co-carried resistance genes to phenicols and tetracyclines, and could have been co-selected through their veterinary use.
