New Tn916-related elements causing erm(B)-mediated erythromycin resistance in tetracycline-susceptible pneumococci
5 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the as yet unexplored genetic elements encoding erm(B)-mediated erythromycin resistance in tetracycline-susceptible pneumococci. METHODS: Sixteen Streptococcus pneumoniae clinical isolates sharing erm(B)-mediated erythromycin resistance and susceptibility to tetracycline were used. Gene detection was performed by PCR using both established and specially designed primers. S. pneumoniae R6,...
