Escherichia coli as Reservoir for Macrolide Resistance Genes

Escherichia coli as Reservoir for Macrolide Resistance Genes

The plasmid-borne mph(A) gene that confers resistance to azithromycin and has recently emerged in Shigella sonnei is present in multidrug- and non–multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from 4 continents. Further spread of mph(A) to Shigella and Salmonella spp. may be expected.
