Abstract excerpt
Genes conferring resistance to one of the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) antibiotics may confer cross-resistance to others, because they have similar effects on bacterial protein synthesis. In Korea, over 70% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates are methicillin-resistant and erythromycin-resistant methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is also prevalent. We investigated the frequency of MLS resistance in...
