Cross-Resistance to Lincosamides, Streptogramins A, and Pleuromutilins Due to the <i>lsa</i> (C) Gene in <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> UCN70
19 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus agalactiae UCN70, isolated from a vaginal swab obtained in New Zealand, is resistant to lincosamides and streptogramins A (LS(A) phenotype) and also to tiamulin (a pleuromutilin). By whole-genome sequencing, we identified a 5,224-bp chromosomal extra-element that comprised a 1,479-bp open reading frame coding for an ABC protein (492 amino acids) 45% identical to Lsa(A), a protein related to...
