Abstract excerpt
A Staphylococcus aureus strain that harbored a plasmid-borne inducibly expressed erm(C) gene was cultivated in the presence of the noninducers quinupristin, telithromycin, and ABT-773. After overnight incubation, 78 mutants that displayed combined resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramin B antibiotics, and ketolides were analyzed for the genetic basis of this altered resistance phenotype. Because...
