Detection of Tn917-Like Sequences within a Tn916-like Conjugative Transposon (Tn3872) in Erythromycin-Resistant Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae

A series of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS)-resistant pneumococcal isolates of a variety of serotypes was examined and was found to contain Tn917-like elements by DNA-DNA hybridization. Like Tn1545, Tn917 also encodes an ermAM gene but does not mediate resistance to other antimicrobial a...
