Abstract excerpt
Two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, one expressing the methyltransferase Erm(B) and the other negative for erm(B), were selected for solithromycin resistance in vitro either with direct drug selection or with chemical mutagenesis followed by drug selection. We obtained a series of mutants that we characterized by next-generation sequencing. We found mutations in various ribosomal proteins (L3, L4, L22, L32,...
