Genetic basis of erythromycin resistance in oral bacteria.
We determined the prevalence of erythromycin-resistant bacteria in the oral cavity and identified mef and erm(B) as the most common resistance determinants. In addition, we demonstrate the genetic linkage, on various Tn1545-like conjugative transposons, between erythromycin and tetracycline resistance in a number of isolates.
متن کاملGenetic basis of natural resistance to erythromycin in Mycoplasma hominis.
Sir, Only a few studies have been reported, so far, on the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in mycoplasmas, and those have frequently involved Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Little information is available in the literature on the mechanisms of macrolide resistance found in other species of mycoplasmas or ureaplasmas. In a previous study it was reported that high-level resistance to erythromycin was...
متن کاملGenetic elements responsible for erythromycin resistance in streptococci.
During the last two decades, growing rates of erythromycin resistance have been reported in many countries among both Streptococcus pyogenes (29) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (63) clinical isolates. This trend was partly due to a further spread of the conventional methylase-mediated target site modification mechanism of resistance, but to an even greater extent it reflected the emergence of an ...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Tetrodotoxin Resistance in Pufferfishes
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a highly potent neurotoxin that selectively binds to the outer vestibule of voltage-gated sodium channels. Pufferfishes accumulate extremely high concentrations of TTX without any adverse effect. A nonaromatic amino acid (Asn) residue present in domain I of the pufferfish, Takifugu pardalis, Na v1.4 channel has been implicated in the TTX resistance of pufferfishes . Howeve...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Mastitis Resistance in Cattle
Mastitis is one of the most important diseases affecting production in dairy cattle. Control strategies against mastitis such as antibiotic therapy, vaccination, improvement of farm and feeding management have met with little success. Genetic variability of mastitis resistance is well established by several independent studies in different breeds of dairy cattle. Usage of somatic cell count or ...
