Lack of association between rrl and erm(41) mutations and clarithromycin resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus complex

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) includes species with high resistance rates among mycobacterial pathogens. In fact, MABC infections may not respond to clarithromycin treatment, which has historically been very effective against MABC ...

Clarithromycin increases linezolid exposure in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2013
The use of linezolid for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is limited by dose- and time-dependent toxicity. Recently, we reported a case of pharmacokinetic drug–drug interaction between linezolid and clarithromycin that resulted in increased linezolid exposure.

The Contribution of Efflux Pumps in Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Resistance to Clarithromycin

Antibiotics, 2019
The basis of drug resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus is still poorly understood. Nevertheless, as seen in other microorganisms, the efflux of antimicrobials may also play a role in M. abscessus drug resistance. Here, we investigated the role of efflux
