ABSTRACT
Mutations associated with linezolid resistance within the V domain of 23S rRNA are annotated using an Escherichia coli numbering system. The 23S rRNA gene varies in length, nucleotide sequence, and copy number among bacterial species. Consequently, this numbering system is not intuitive and can lead to confusion when mutation sites are being located using whole-genome sequencing data. Using the mutation G2576T as an example, we demonstrate the difficulties associated with using the E. coli numbering system.
