Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To study mutations at positions A2058, A2503 and U2504 (Escherichia coli numbering) of 23S rRNA and their relationship to resistance to antibiotics that target the large ribosomal subunit. METHODS: Single and dual mutations at positions 2058, 2503 and 2504 of 23S rRNA were introduced into a Mycobacterium smegmatis strain with a single functional rRNA operon. MICs of macrolide, pleuromutilin, phenicol,...
