Emergence of plasmid-borne <i>erm</i> (55)-associated macrolide resistance in <i>Mycobacterium chelonae</i> and other rapidly-growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria in Europe
2026-07-09
Abstract excerpt
Macrolides are key agents for treating infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Nevertheless, chromosomal erm genes conferring inducible macrolide resistance are described in some NTM species, such as Mycobacterium abscessus and M. fortuitum , whereas M. chelonae had long been considered as lacking a functional e rm . Recent descriptions from the USA and Japan of a new plasmid-borne erm (55)...
