  • Title: Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and macrolide resistance genes of beta-hemolytic streptococci in Korea.
    Author: Uh Y, Jang IH, Hwang GY, Lee MK, Yoon KJ, Kim HY.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2004 Jul; 48(7):2716-8. PubMed ID: 15215133.
    Abstract:
    In 540 beta-hemolytic streptococci, the rates of resistance to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and clindamycin were 80.0, 22.8, 20.2, and 19.1%, respectively. Of the erythromycin-resistant isolates, 63.3% had the constitutive macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS(B)) resistance phenotype, 23.9% had the M phenotype, and 12.8% had the inducible MLS(B) resistance phenotype. The constitutive MLS(B) resistance phenotype with the erm(B) gene was dominant in Korea.
