Abstract:Background
This study aims to explore the antibacterial activity of cethromycin against Staphylococcus aureus, and its relationship with multilocus sequence typing (MLST), erm genes and macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) phenotypes of S. aureus.
Results
The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of cethromycin against 245 S. aureus clinical isolates ranged from 0.03125 to ≥ 8mg/L, with the resistance rate of 38.8% in 121 methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and 37.1%in 124 methicillin-sensitive… Show more
