Abstract excerpt
In Serbia, the frequency of macrolide-resistant group A streptococci (MRGASs) increased significantly from 2006 to 2009. MRGAS analysis in 2008 revealed the presence of three major clonal lineages: emm75/mefA, emm12/mefA, and emm77/ermTR. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of macrolide resistance and to evaluate variations in the clonal composition of MRGASs. The study included 1,040...
