A novel gene, erm(41), confers inducible macrolide resistance to clinical isolates of Mycobacterium abscessus but is absent from Mycobacterium chelonae.

PMID: 191717992009

Key Findings

The study identifies a novel inducible macrolide resistance gene, erm(41), in Mycobacterium abscessus, which confers resistance to macrolides, ketolides, and lincosamides. The gene is absent in Mycobacterium chelonae and is nonfunctional in some susceptible isolates.
