A novel erm(44) gene variant, erm(44), has been identified by whole-genome sequencing in a Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolate from the skin of a healthy person. It has the particularity to confer resistance to macrolides and lincosamides but not to streptogramin B when expressed in S. aureus The erm(44) gene resides on a 19,400-bp genomic island which contains phage-associated proteins and is integrated into the chromosome of S. saprophyticus.
通过全基因组测序,在一名健康人的皮肤腐生葡萄球菌分离株中鉴定出一种新的erm(44)基因变体erm(44)。当在金黄色葡萄球菌中表达时,它具有赋予对大环内酯类和林可酰胺类耐药性但对链阳菌素B不耐药的特性。erm(44)基因位于一个19400碱基对的基因组岛上,该岛包含噬菌体相关蛋白,并整合到腐生葡萄球菌的染色体中。
