Macrolide Resistance in Peptostreptococcus spp. Mediated by ermTR: Possible Source of Macrolide-Lincosamide-Streptogramin B Resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes

Eighty percent (21 of 26) of macrolide-resistant Peptostreptococcus strains studied harbored the ermTR gene. This methyltransferase gene is also the most frequently found gene among macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes strains. Transfer of the ermTR gene from Peptos...
