Genetic Characterization of a Conjugative Plasmid That Encodes Azithromycin Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae

ABSTRACT Mechanisms of azithromycin resistance have rarely been reported. In this study, an IncFIB/IncHI1B plasmid that confers resistance to azithromycin was recovered from a clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strain. This plasmid could be efficiently disseminated to Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and o...
