Abstract excerpt
Previous studies indicate that macrolide resistance in Moraxella catarrhalis isolates is less common in adults than in children. However, few studies have investigated M. catarrhalis macrolide resistance mechanisms in adult patients. In this study, 124 M. catarrhalis isolates were collected from adult patients in a Chinese tertiary hospital, between 2010 and 2013, and investigated for antimicrobial resistance. We...
