Abstract excerpt
Inducible resistance to lincomycin and macrolides in Streptomyces lividans TK21 results from expression of two linked genes: lrm, encoding a ribosomal RNA methyltransferase that confers high-level resistance to lincomycin with lower levels of resistance to macrolides, and mgt, encoding a glycosyl transferase that specifically inactivates macrolides using UDP-glucose as cofactor. The lrm and mgt genes have been...
