Recombination rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates with both erm(B) and mef(A) genes.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Aug 2010

Lee Ji-Young, Song Jae-Hoon, Ko Kwan Soo

Abstract excerpt

Erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates containing both erm(B) and mef(A) genes have a higher rate of multidrug resistance (MDR). We investigated the relationships between the presence of erythromycin resistance determinants and the recombination rate. We determined the mutation and recombination frequencies of 46 S. pneumoniae isolates, which included 19 with both erm(B) and mef(A), nine with...
