4 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The ribosomal methylase Erm(41) confers inducible resistance to macrolides in Mycobacterium abscessus. The aim of this work was to systematically study and compare drug susceptibility to clarithromycin and azithromycin in M. abscessus and Mycobacterium chelonae clinical isolates with a particular focus on inducible drug resistance. METHODS: Clinical isolates of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus (n = 21),...
