TY - JOUR AU - Nelson, Megan M. AU - Waldron, Christopher L. AU - Bracht, John R. PY - 2019 DA - 2019/02/12 TI - Rapid molecular detection of macrolide resistance JO - BMC Infectious Diseases SP - 144 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Emerging antimicrobial resistance is a significant threat to human health. However, methods for rapidly diagnosing antimicrobial resistance generally require multi-day culture-based assays. Macrolide efflux gene A, mef(A), provides resistance against erythromycin and azithromycin and is known to be laterally transferred among a wide range of bacterial species.
