Emergence of Inducible Macrolide Resistance in Mycobacterium chelonae Due to Broad-Host-Range Plasmid and Chromosomal Variants of the Novel 23S rRNA Methylase Gene, erm(55).

PMID: 373471712023United States|Canada|Portugal|California, USA

Key Findings

The study identifies a novel 23S rRNA methylase gene, erm(55), which confers inducible macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium chelonae. This gene was found on a conjugative plasmid and in chromosomal variants, and it was also detected in other Mycobacterium species.
