Quinupristin-Dalfopristin Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae: Novel L22 Ribosomal Protein Mutation in Two Clinical Isolates from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program

Resistance to quinupristin-dalfopristin (Q/D) among gram-positive cocci has been very uncommon. Two clinical isolates among 8,837 (0.02%) Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates were discovered in 2001 to 2002 with Q/D MICs of 4 μg/ml. Each had a 5-amino-acid tandem duplication (RTAHI) in the L22 ribosoma...
