Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the distribution of erythromycin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol resistance mechanisms and determinants and the relevant genetic environments and elements in viridans group streptococci (VGS). METHODS: A total of 263 VGS collected from routine throat swabs in 2010-12 and identified to the species level were studied. Antibiotic resistance determinants and the relevant genetic contexts...
