Susceptibilities of Oral and Nasal Isolates of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis to Macrolides and PCR Detection of Resistance Genes

The susceptibility of viridans group streptococci to macrolides was determined. Thirteen isolates (17%) were resistant to erythromycin. Five strains carried an erm gene that was highly homologous to that in Tn917. Four strains had mefE genes that coded erythromycin efflux ability.
