Characterization of a novel insertion of the macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramin B resistance transposon Tn554 in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramin B resistance in staphylococci can result from a gene, ermA, that comprises part of transposon Tn554. Tn554 is unusual in (i) its high specificity for a primary chromosomal attachment site, att554, and (ii) the variability of its 3'-terminal six or seven nuc...
