Abstract

ABSTRACT The distribution of subclasses mefA and mefE of the mefA gene among 116 M-phenotype streptococci was as follows: pneumococci (38 strains had mefE and 4 mefA ), viridans streptococci (49 mefE and 1 mefA ), and Streptococcus pyogenes (24 mefA ). Spain 9V -3-14 and England 14 -9 clones of serotype 14 were dominant among pneumococci.
