Abstract
Chromosomal resistance islands containing the methicillin resistance gene
mecD
(McRI
mecD
) have been reported in
Macrococcus caseolyticus
. Here, we identified novel macrolide resistance genes in
Macrococcus canis
on similar elements, called McRI
msr
. These elements were also integrated into the 3′ end of the 30S ribosomal protein S9 gene (
rpsI
), delimited by characteristic attachment (
att
) sites, and carried a related site-specific integrase gene (
int
) at the 5′ end.
