Erythromycin resistance and the characterization of the corresponding determinants of resistance were studied in clinical Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates belonging to the four major multiresistant pneumococcal Spanish clones (ermB and mefA genes for the Spain23F-1, Spain9V-3, serotype 14 variant of the Spain9V-3 and Spain14-5 clones and ermB gene for the Spain6B-2 clone). These isolates were confirmed as major...
