Abstract excerpt
Macrolides are bacteriostatic antibiotics which interfere with the peptidyltransfer function of the ribosome. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium smegmatis, an eubacterium carrying two rRNA operons. Surprisingly, drug resistance was assoc...
