Plasmid-mediated macrolide resistance among rapidly growing mycobacteria in Japan

2025-09-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> The spread of a transmissible plasmid carrying the 23S rRNA methylase gene erm (55), which confers inducible macrolide resistance in rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), has raised significant clinical concerns. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of erm (55)-carrying plasmids in clinically isolated RGM strains in Japan. <h4>Methods</h4> In total, 607...
