Macrolide resistance in Streptococcus species
Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2015 Background: The Streptococci are Gram-positive spherical bacteria (cocci) that characteristically form pairs and chains during growth. Some macrolide-resistant bacteria lack the proper receptor on the ribosome (through methylation of the rRNA).

Macrolide resistance in pneumococci—is it relevant? [PDF]
Pneumonia, 2016 Macrolide antibiotics are widely used for a range of indications, including pneumonia. Both high-level and low-level resistance to macrolides is increasing in pneumococci globally. Macrolide resistance in pneumococci is of limited clinical relevance where ß-lactams remain the mainstay of treatment, such as for moderate/severe pneumonia; however, data ...

Macrolide Resistance in Bordetella pertussis: Current Situation and Future Challenges
Antibiotics, 2022 Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis bacterium. The mainstay of treatment is macrolide antibiotics that reduce transmissibility, shorten the duration of symptoms and decrease mortality in infants. Recently,

Macrolide Resistance in Adults with Bacteremic Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 We conducted a case-control study of adults with bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia to identify factors associated with macrolide resistance. Study participants were identified through population-based surveillance in a 5-county region surrounding ...

Impact on Macrolide Resistance of Genetic Diversity of Mycobacterium abscessus Species
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Our previous study identified that the Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus T28 sequevar does not fully represent inducible macrolide resistance. Thus, we initiated a correlation study between genotypes and phenotypes.
