We assessed the mechanisms of resistance to macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLS B ) antibiotics and related antibiotics in erythromycin-resistant viridans group streptococci (n ؍ 164) and Gemella spp.
The epidemiologic relatedness of 29 erythromycin-resistant Gemella sp. strains from normal flora, characterized previously, were evaluated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Three isolates carried the tet (
