It has been reported that LZD-resistant Enterococcus in the gastrointestinal tract of mice colonizes persistently and shows variable minimum inhibitor concentration (MIC) values. However, the colonization characteristics of Enterococcus with LZD resistance in patients remain elusive. Here, we report the case of a patient with recurrent pneumonia due to infection with LZD-resistant Enterococcus faecalis strains. The colonization characteristics of the strains isolated from this patient were analyzed.
