Assessment of Clarithromycin Susceptibility in Strains Belonging to the <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> Group by <i>erm</i> (41) and <i>rrl</i> Sequencing
7 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Clarithromycin was the drug of choice for Mycobacterium abscessus infections until inducible resistance due to erm(41) was described. Because M. abscessus was split into M. abscessus sensu stricto, Mycobacterium massiliense, and Mycobacterium bolletii, we looked for erm(41) in the three species and determined their clarithromycin susceptibility levels. Ninety strains were included: 87 clinical strains from cystic...
