Transfer of Erythromycin Resistance from Poultry to Human Clinical Strains ofStaphylococcus aureus
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
The transfer of ermA and ermC genes, the two most common resistance determinants of erythromycin resistance, was studied with Luria-Bertani broth in the absence of additional Ca(2+) or Mg(2+) ions. Fifteen human and five poultry isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, which were resistant to erythromycin but carried different genetic markers for erythromycin resistance, were used for conjugation. Since both the donors...
