OBJECTIVE: Two clinical strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, 237 and 544, one isolated in Slovakia and the other in Croatia, that were resistant to azithromycin (MIC 8 and 2 mg/L, respectively) but susceptible to erythromycin (MIC 0.5 and 0.12 mg/L, respectively) did not contain any gene known to confer macrolide resistance by ribosomal modification (erm gene) or efflux [mef(A) and msr(A) genes]. The aim of the...
