Abstract
ABSTRACT
Mechanisms for tetracycline and macrolide resistance in 54 isolates of erythromycin-resistant
Streptococcus agalactiae
were analyzed by PCR. The
erm
(B),
erm
(A), and
mef
(A) genes, either alone or in combination, were detected in all the erythromycin-resistant isolates. The
tet
(M) and
tet
(O) genes were responsible for tetracycline resistance. Random amplification of polymorphic DNA indicated different clonal origins of the isolates.
