Abstract excerpt

The ermB and mefE genes are important in terms of their responsibility for macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae. We investigated the distribution of the ermB and mefE genes in erythromycin A-resistant S. pneumoniae isolated in our hospital during the period 1995-1998. All amoxicillin-low-susceptible isolates were considered to be resistant to erythromycin A. All isolates with resistance to...
