Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the genetic basis of catQ-mediated chloramphenicol resistance in Streptococcus agalactiae. METHODS: Two clinical strains of catQ-positive chloramphenicol-resistant S. agalactiae (Sag236 and Sag403) were recently isolated, typed (MLST, PFGE pulsotypes, capsular types) and their antibiotic resistances investigated by phenotypic and genotypic approaches. Several molecular methods (PCR...
