First Insight into the Genome Sequences of Two Linezolid-Resistant Nocardia farcinica Strains Isolated from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis.

ABSTRACT: The draft genome sequences of two Nocardia farcinica strains isolated from two patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and linezolid, are reported here. The estimated genome sizes were 5.8 Mb with a 70.63% G+C content. Transposases from Tn916 were detected, but not 23S rRNA mutation (G2576T) related to linezolid resistance.
