Genetic basis of macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium avium isolated from patients with disseminated disease
1 Dec 1995
Abstract excerpt
Clarithromycin (CLM) and azithromycin (AZM) are important agents in the treatment of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex disease; however, monotherapy with these macrolides often leads to clinically significant resistance. The underlying resistance mechanism was investigated by comparing 23S rRNA gene sequences in the domain V region of 10 CLM-susceptible strains included in this study. The only differences...
