Nucleotide sequences of domain V and domain II regions of the 23S rRNA gene were determined in both in vitro-made mutants and clinical isolates of Mycobacterium avium and M. intracellulare conferring clarithromycin-resistance. All laboratory-made mutants showed high level resistance to clarithromycin (> 150 micrograms ml-1) and mutation at position 2058 (cognate with Escherichia coli base) in domain V region. In...
