Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of macrolide, lacosamide, and streptogramin resistance in clinically resistant Streptococci and their correlation with reduced biocide susceptibility

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gram-positive Streptococci is a huge group of different species that are classified based on its hemolytic effect besides the C-substance in the cell wall. This study focuses on the investigation of the prevalence and genetic basis of resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramins (MLS) in α- and β-hemolytic Streptococci. METHODS: Streptococcal isolates were identified and their resistance...
