Mosaic genes and their role in penicillin‐resistant <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> (minireview)

1 Apr 1998

Abstract excerpt

Penicillin resistance in clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae is mediated by mosaic genes encoding altered penicillin binding proteins. Mosaic sequence blocks are the result of a genetic exchange between related streptococcal species. It is likely that resistance has emerged in commensal streptococci before being transferred into the pneumococcus. Closely related mosaic genes are found in different...
