Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to characterize the resistance mechanisms of two strains of Staphylococcus aureus UCN42 and UCN43 isolated from cystic fibrosis patients that displayed an unusual phenotype of resistance to macrolides. The strains were resistant to erythromycin and the 16-membered macrolide spiramycin but susceptible to clindamycin. None of the strains contained erm or msr(A) genes by PCR. Sequencing of...
