Abstract excerpt
In Denmark, tetracycline resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes is frequent (>30%) whereas macrolide resistance is low (<5%). The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic background of tetracycline- and macrolide resistance in macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes (MRSP) and to investigate the correlation between the use of macrolide and tetracycline and macrolide resistance using international data. A total of...
