Ultrastructural, metabolic and genetic determinants of the acquisition of macrolide resistance by <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>
2023-12-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Aim</h4> Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) acquires genes for macrolide resistance, MEGA or ermB , in the human host. These genes are carried either in the chromosome, or on integrative conjugative elements (ICEs). Here, we investigated molecular determinants of the acquisition of macrolide resistance. <h4>Methods and Results</h4> Whole genome analysis was conducted for 128 macrolide-resistant pneumococcal is...
