Molecular basis of intrinsic macrolide resistance in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium fortuitum.
PMID: 155907122005
Key Findings
The study identified erm(39) as the gene responsible for intrinsic macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium fortuitum, which confers resistance to macrolides and lincosamides through methylation of 23S rRNA.
