Deciphering mobile genetic elements disseminating macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes over a 21 year period in Barcelona, Spain
7 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To phenotypically and genetically characterize the antibiotic resistance determinants and associated mobile genetic elements (MGEs) among macrolide-resistant (MR) Streptococcus pyogenes [Group A streptococci (GAS)] clinical isolates collected in Barcelona, Spain. METHODS: Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by microdilution. Isolates were emm and MLST typed and 55 were whole-genome...
