The ermC gene confers resistance to MLS antibiotics in a Bacillus subtilis host. Synthesis of the ermC gene product, a ribosomal RNA methylase, is inducible by the addition of subinhibitory concentrations of erythromycin. Regulation of ermC gene expression occurs at the post-transcriptional level in three ways: translational attenuation, translational autoregulation, and messenger RNA stabilization.
ermC基因赋予枯草芽孢杆菌宿主对MLS抗生素的抗性。ermC基因产物（一种核糖体RNA甲基化酶）的合成可通过添加亚抑制浓度的红霉素来诱导。ermC基因表达的调控在转录后水平以三种方式发生：翻译弱化、翻译自调控和信使RNA稳定化。
