Distribution of erm genes and low prevalence of inducible resistance to clindamycin among staphylococci isolates
Introduction: Resistance to macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins B (MLSB antibiotics) in staphylococci may be due to modification in ribosomal target methylase encoded by erm genes. The expression of MLSB resistance lead to three phenotypes, namely constitutive resistance (cMLSB), inducible r...
