Presence of<i>erm</i>gene classes in Gram-positive bacteria of animal and human origin in Denmark
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
A classification of the different erm gene classes based on published sequences was performed, and specific primers to detect some of these classes designed. The presence of ermA (Tn554), ermB (class IV) and ermC (class VI) was determined by PCR in a total of 113 enterococcal, 77 streptococcal and 68 staphylococcal erythromycin resistant isolates of animal and human origin. At least one of these genes was...
