Abstract excerpt
Macrolide antibiotic resistance is widespread among Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (formerly Serpulina hyodysenteriae) isolates. The genetic basis of macrolide and lincosamide resistance in B. hyodysenteriae was elucidated. Resistance to tylosin, erythromycin and clindamycin in B. hyodysenteriae was associated with an A-->T transversion mutation in the nucleotide position homologous with position 2058 of the...
