Prevalence of erm(A) and mef(B) erythromycin resistance determinants in isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae from New Zealand.

David C Bean1, John D Klena.   

Abstract

One hundred and twenty-four erythromycin-resistant pneumococcal isolates were examined for the presence of macrolide resistance genes. The erm(B) gene was detected in 118 (95.2%) isolates and the mef(A) gene in 83 (66.9%) isolates. Both the mef(A) and erm(B) genes were detected in 77 (62.1%) isolates. DNA macrorestriction analysis of these isolates identified them as belonging to a single multi-resistant clone.
