29 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Sir, Pleuromutilin, lincosamide and streptogramin A (PLSA) antimicrobials are important antimicrobials in both human and veterinary medicine. Combined resistance to PLSA antimicrobials in Gram-positive bacteria has been mainly attributed to ABC transporters of the Vga or Lsa type.1–5 To date, several ABC transporter genes, including vga(A) and its variant vga(A)v, vga(C), vga(E) and its recently described...
